Quetzals, the godlike birds of pre-Columbian lore, are lovely small, colorful forest dwellers that “twitchers” — as bird spotters like to call themselves — will travel a long way to see. There are five recognized species, plus the eared quetzal, a slightly more distant relation, despite the name.
While their range stretches from the Amazon to Central America, only one species — the resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) — is found as far north as Mexico. This bird has interacted with humans
