Watch resplendent quetzal males, trailing tail plumes up to a metre long, feed and display each morning at San Gerardo de Dota, the single most reliable place on Earth to see the species, in the Savegre Valley high in Costa Rica's Talamanca mountains. Local guides know exactly where the males, trailing tail plumes up to a metre long, feed and display each morning.
