We left the lodge at 5AM today to look for this fancy boy and I managed to spot him. 😁Resplendent Quetzals are considered near-threatened due to habit loss. And that tail is real, no April Fools joke here. 🪶

We saw quetzals in the cloud forest;in the Sun where they are truly resplendent, and in the shade, where they are brown.
Exhibiting color is dependent on reflected light, like Impressionist painters.
Great shot, Jen
