Soon after arriving in Costa Rica we noticed that everywhere we looked we saw beautiful painted pictures of a bird called a quetzal and as the boys grew in their love for birds, we began a quest to spot this very allusive creature. We have hiked and traveled and searched.... (those of you have visited us have searched with us...) Finally, yesterday - the 30th of December, we visited a town around an hour and a half from our home and we saw the quetzal. Not just one, but over 10 of these amazing birds, male and female. They did not disappoint - they are even more beautiful than we had hoped! Below are some of the pictures Joshua captured of the quetzal.
