Resplendent Quetzal

La Trinidad de Dota

With just a little bit of his bright red breast feathers visible, a male resplendent quetzal takes a look behind him, toward the cameras, on a branch covered in white cloud forest lichens. There's nothing quite like seeing one of these birds yourself, and despite the 5:00am wake-up time, the drive down skinny, steep roads that may or may not be paved, and the thin air in the mountains, I still make the pilgrimage to La Trinidad de Dota whenever I visit the central highlands of Costa Rica.
