Resplendent Quetzel by Ian.Kate.Bruce's Wildlife
All Trogons are spectacular but we were amazed at the beauty of the Resplendent Quetzel. Sighted n the dense green of the cloud forest the Quetzel presented a dazzling display of emerald green crest, red chest and white tail with four spectacular extended uppertail coverts floating behind. Sighted high in the Pacific-facing slopes of the Cerro de la Muerte cloudforest of central Costa Rica.
