Resplendent quetzal
This is a shot I never expected to capture. I didn't even expect to see one. So you can imagine how very pleased I was when the quetzal came out from where it was hidden in the trees and posed for me.
The Aztecs and Mayans, viewed the quetzal as a symbol of goodness and light. This near threatened bird, the national bird of Guatemala, is certainly resplendent - shining so brightly.
