Knowing when and where to go always maximize your chances to nail your targets, on this case knowing where are the wild avocado trees producing gave us really nice chances to get amazing images of the Resplendent Quetzal, on this case a juvenile looking for his favorite food at 6000 feet above sea level.

Your expert knowledge of the flora, fauna and their respective behaviours is invaluable in finding the best opportunities in your wonderful country Jeff!

A beautiful sighting and image - and thank you for the extra information about your gorgeous subject and its favourite food.
