Resplendent Quetzal

El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve; Chiapas, MX

We saw several Quetzals, but none were really in the open for a good photograph. A bird as special as this though, you take what you can get.

El Triunfo is now the farthest north this bird ranges, and is the only place in Mexico that it can still be reliably found.
