Resplendent

Male Resplendent Quetzal. He was perched deep inside the tree canopy. Had to lie on my back in the mud and angle my lens through a narrow gap between the branches (I was still quite a distance away and very quiet so as not to disturb him). He sat like this for at least an hour digesting avacados plucked from the adjacent tree.

 

Taken at a farm in Parque Nacional Juan Castro Blanco, Costa Rica.
