I didn’t get as many bird photos on this trip, but then it wasn’t the purpose except for two days. Of many bird shots, I have five that are decent and have finally got each bird properly identified. The Volcano Junco is the first posting:

I think my favorite is Resplendent Quetzal, Trogon Lodge. Such fun colors!
It is the favorite of many birdwatchers though seen by only a few in a certain altitude of Central American mountains. It will not live in captivity, so it must be seen in the wild and has a significant link to Mayan history. Truly a delight to see and photograph!
