https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1138327056 I saw these 2 in a cave behind the rock shown in the above pic.The tide was rising so taking pictures was out of question.It was neat to see their lair.
HemaShah
Sure ,i will ,Isabella.It could take upto a month.Will update you ASAP!
Isabela
Hema, let me know when you upload your pictures, I'd love to see what you saw.
Isabela
What a coincidence! I didn't see the quetzal either. It was difficult to take photos of birds in the rainforest. But I did love Costa Rica, I felt immerse in nature.
HemaShah
Yup ;I was here and unfortunately my computer has crashed.I have to wait to upload my pics.I loved Costa Rica.Only regret is that did not see the quertzel in Monte Verde.I saw the motmots but I could not get a pic!
