Pharomachrus mocinno Resplendent Quetzal - Savegre Valley, Costa Rica Resplendent Quetzal is one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. I have shared another photo of this bird in my stream earlier, but finally finished processing all the photos of this bird. This was shot in the Savegre Valley in Costa Rica. We stopped here on our way back to San Jose and what a day it was. Special thanks to Vivek Tiwari (spiderhunters) for taking us here. It was one of the most memorable birding days of 2009. Resplendent Quetzals are classified "near threatened" due to loss of their habitat. These birds range from southern Mexico to Panama. It is the national bird of Guatemala. It also adorns the Guatemalan currency bills and the unit of Guatemalan currency is also called the "Quetzal". The word "quetzal" is derived from the Aztec language and means "bird with long plumed feathers". In many mesoamerican languages, the word also means "precious", "sacred". There are many legends associated with this bird. It is also considered a symbol of "liberty" since it was believed earlier that a Quetzal if captured would kill itself rather than living in captivity.
