Observation details

Amazing luck with 2 different quetzals along the road, with the help of others who were already there looking at them, of course! First was a male inside a nest cavity and all that was visible was the end of the tail streamers, and next was a brilliant male perched so wonderfully near the road at the hotspot pin! Incredible!
