king of birds, a photo from Puntarenas, West

Photographer's Note

Quetzals have iridescent green or golden-green wing coverts, back, chest and head, with a red belly. They are strongly sexually dimorphic, and parts of the females' plumage are brown or grey. These largely solitary birds feed on fruits, berries, insects and small vertebrates (such as frogs). Even with their famous bright plumage, they can be hard to see in their natural wooded habitats.

Hi Yuval,
Great photo with this so lovely bird, perfect sharpness, interesting frame and attitude of the colorful birds, for the rendering maybe a bit too clear, Tfs.

Bonjour, Yuval,
Quel curieux oiseau au plumage polychrome. J'aime sa posture fragile et élégante.
Un oiseau du paradis en quelque sorte !
Amitiés.
Philippe
