Any other info:

The "In Search of the Quetzal" is a slideshow of one morning in Costa Rica where we looked for the elusive quetzal. We were in the high altitudes, almost 9,000 feet, of the Cerro de la Muerte area. We were fortunate to find a baby quetzal who was just about to leave its nest. The father with the long tail feathers was nearby and had a beetle in his beak.

The images of the quetzals were with the lens at 200mm; lighting conditions were not good; camera was hand-held. So the images are nothing to write home about but I am happy I got what I got. Hope you enjoy it.

Comments and critiques are welcomed.
