The highlight of the trip, not only for looking spectacular, but for seeing the excitement it created from many people and even non-birdwatchers. We were very lucky to have him fly down from a hidden perch into the open. With hope the forests can continue to be protected with increased interest and awareness of this and other bird species. Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve, Costa Rica.

Again from Monte Verde, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have said a nice stuffed toy. In this pose more of his long tail is visible and the hint of blue in some parts.

Onthe grounds of the hotel El Establo in Monteverde there was a particular tree on top of a long hill where the Quetzal could be seen. This was in the rain forest and under the canopy gloom, focusing was difficult for the camera. Note that in direct sun the bird at times appeared to be blue rather than green. Doesn't look real !
