Thanks Noel and Gerardo, these guys were a big target of mine. And it was a joy to find both species of quetzal - and better get a shot of both together!

Thanks Ali and LandmarkExpert, I agree, Quetzals are fantastic birds! Trogons in general are one of my favorite species of birds to photograph :-)
