Oh my cool bird. Awesome shots. My cats would like you to bring home one for each of them to observe only they say.

Wow, what a blessing to get such a beauty. Outstanding shots,

 

[DRM]

Gorgeous. If it weren’t for this forum I wouldn’t even know that many of these beautiful birds even exist.

 

[Irap]

Nice shots Karen, beautiful bird, great color and detail.

 

[Jmaes]

That's quite a spectacular bird right there. Beautifully framed as well; nice work.

Very nice indeed Karen, were these taken on a setup perch?

I'm hoping to return to Costa Rica in May with a birding mate, and on my last trip 5 years ago the Resplendent Quetzal was one species we missed, although we did not visit their
prime areas unfortunately.
