Resplendent Quetzal: San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 \u2014 It was the day for Resplendent Quetzals. We had at lest 3 males and one female at the usual December spot along the road above Trogon Lodge. We waited a long time and took a lot of photos when it was really still too dark\u2026but were rewarded with some good shots in good light. One of my fellow travelers saw a painting of the bird here at the lodge last night and asked \u201cdoes it really look like that!?\u201d I assured her that, yes indeed, it does look just like that, and maybe even more impressive and beautiful in life. Sony Rx10iv at 561mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 640 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. Plus .7EV.<\/p>\n
