    And that's the fifth and last Pharomachrus quetzal for me! By far the rarest of Peru's three quetzals, this is the lowland species. But I was lucky to be in prime habitat for it last month, and perhaps at the peak of breeding season. I heard singing males every day and multiple times they would fly right in in response to playback. This is the only time one of them posed on a reasonably low perch, allowing for a decent pic.
