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

@james I'm still not sure I believe it. How adorably plushy looking!

[james@adney.land]

@dillyd I don't blame you! It broke me.

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

@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!

@james magnificent!

[james@adney.land]

@wav3ydave Right? Glad you got to see one too! We got really lucky with how photogenic it was. Such an unbelievable creature.

[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"
