Green Resplendent Quetzal

Sometimes you are ridiculously lucky. I had set out in the morning with the goal of finding some elusive Resplendent Quetzals in the cloud forests of Panama below the continental divide, just a few miles from Costa Rica. And then, within an hour i found TWO building a nest together in this tree!

Nabesna Mid Glacial Lake

This lake is a new phenomenon that was only 2 summers old by the time i came across it. I think what is happening is that the downward side of the lake is a small ridge and the glacier has lost enough mass that it can no longer ride over the top of it, halting it's forward movement. But, there could also be an ice dam somewhere in the area.
