Description
It's difficult to not want to take a full body shot of this beautiful male Quetzal, with his long feathers. This time, he was too close - not that I'll complain. I loved being so close to such an exotic bird and I got some different shots out of it.Resplendent Quetzal

I love this! You can see all the little parts on top of it's head standing up, sharp as a tack. Wonderful image, sitting framed also very nice!
