I have to show off this absolutely unreal quetzal I had the pleasure of seeing in person.

@ChrisCPS Darn! I feel very lucky. Hopefully you saw lots of other wonderful things! Costa Rica is a beautiful place.

@james Fabulous. It's only early Monday morning and this bird and these photos have made my week.

[james@adney.land]

@CiaraNi So glad you could share in my joy!

[cmniciosaig@mastodon.scot]

@james this is exactly what anyone who's getting up on a Monday morning needs to see. Absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing!

[james@adney.land]

@cmniciosaig Glad it brightened your day!

@james Yay! such a mad looking thing. We were lucky enough to see one in Monteverde a couple of years back. My pics aren't that good though!

Wow, what a gorgeous creature!!

[knowprose@mastodon.social]

@james magnificent!

[wav3ydave@mas.to]

@james We got the whole usual spiel of "oh they're very rare, many people come for years and never see one, etc etc" then literally walked for about 10 mins and the guide was, "oh there's one on that branch"
