Composite Photo of a Resplendent Quetzal Returning to its Nest

This picture collates three images of a male resplendent quetzal, as it folds its wings to land on a tree trunk. Inside the trunk, the male and his mate have dug out a brooding chamber to hatch and raise their eggs.

The quetzal has some food in its mouth, which might be some of the first solid food its chicks ever taste.
