My wife is adopted from Guatemala where the Quetzal is the national bird. It's a bird that I hope to photograph someday and make an amazing print for her. Thanks for the great video content, Mark!

Love Savegre Mountain Lodge. Best Place for birding in Costa Rica. The Magnificent hummingbird is now the Talamanca hummingbird. Still a beautiful hummer. Before you pack to avoid this crisis, Costa Rica is closed now to tourism, although according to W.H.O. they have a very low case-fatality ratio of 0.88% health authorities are not opening the country yet. My thoughts and prayers are with those in eco-tourism affected by this world crisis.

You sir are a master. Once again beauty you show the beauty of nature. Interesting how you point out flaws in a picture that looks perfect. Well, if something was wrong you would know, it looked like a great shot to me. I hope you do not tire of people telling you great job, because you really do the best work in your nature photography. I am learning so much seeing your work and it is important to me. I am very lucky to be able to see the works of a modern master.

Beautiful film, thank you. I was in Costa Rica in 1983, at that time we had to hike to the Cloud Forest. At a certain point we saw a rough wooden sign pointing up that said “Quetzal” . I looked up and there he was in all his glory. It’s engraved in my mind. So nice to see all these birds up close and personal and captured digitally.

sigh...I wanted to cry when you said "we should go to Costa Rica"...we returned to the US in late March and I am looking forward to heading back as soon as it is safe to do so...did a double take when the area where you saw the Quetzal came up in your video...we stood in the same spot...we were there in May of 2017 and I was lucky enough to get pics of two chicks...the mother and father were taking turns guarding the nest and bringing back food...thanks for bringing back such fond memories and for sharing your beautiful photos/videos...stay safe...

Hey Tim from South Africa. Have to agree with you 100%. Mark is the best. That illusive Sony 200-600 is in my thoughts every day as well. I think the secret to You Mark is you have the love and kindness of nature and the birds see it in you. They seem to know and trust you. From Graham, Cape Town. South Africa.

Hey, Mark great video and fantastic shots as always! It's nice to see some shots of places I'm familiar with and of course no matter how many times one sees a Quetzal you never get tired of them. Next time you're down here when all of this current crazy stuff is over let me know! Saludos from Costa Rica !
