It is not everyday that I get the chance to photograph a quetzal, much less to photograph it coming out from its nest. During Ely's visit here, we had a great time to witness and photograph a pair of Resplendent Quetzal nesting in a dead tree trunk. It took a lot of waiting hours and patience before we both got some decent shots. EOS 7D+400mm f/5.6L 1/500s, ISO 800  |

With its long tail not being able to fit in the hole you can see it protruding and moving with the wind. What a treat it is to be able to see what is considered to be one if not the most beautiful bird in the world. Well done Ariel & Mabuhay.

Wonderful shot, Ariel. With its very long tail, it's interesting to see how it could fit itself in the hole.

The Quetzal is one of my favorite bird because of the unique and colorful feathers. Thanks for sharing this photo Ariel.
