Resplendent Quetzal (Costa Rica)
Couldnt resist posting another one of these guys. Just incredible to see them in the wild!
This one was bringing in a fruit to feed its baby in the nest cavity.

Brilliant colours on the bird and a beautiful sight . Awesome perch . If I have to nitpick , would have wished that the BG below the perch was not so busy , but I do understand it is beyond us to get it clean all the time .
Ditto Rakesh. Glad you posted another of this species...what a marvelous bird!
Wow, Glen , what a bird ! The fruit is a bonus and I like the pose and head angle !
Amazing colours and such a beautiful bird. The fruit is a bonus and love the head angle.
Its easy to see why this bird was revered by ancient cultures it is breath taking.
