Photographer Steve Winter

"Shimmering feathers of a male resplendent quetzal reach far beyond the nest he and his mate hollowed out of a tree in Guatemala. Breathtaking glimpses of this celebrated and threatened bird are becoming increasingly rare as human encroachment reduces its numbers."

—From "The Elusive Quetzal," June 1998, National Geographic magazine
