Elusive, but in our backyard

6/12/2013

Although considered one of the more elusive birds, Kevin and I have now spotted the Quetzal 3 times on our property...I'm starting to think I should walk around with a video camera attached to a helmet so I can personally capture all our wonderful discoveries... alas, I had to borrow this image from the internet... again. The Quetzal was about 12 feet away from us. We could see it very clearly in all its glory. Spotting this bird is so exhilarating. Observing its plumage of many colours never gets old. He is just so magnificent. I can see why birdwatchers from all over the world come to this region just for a chance to get a glimpse. It is truly worth it.

Dave and Krista are a couple from the Pacific Northwest that led overwhelmingly busy lives.
As her son Hayden was graduating high school, and daughter Korynn wrapping up college, they realized it was time to slow down. Life was going far too fast . They wanted to take the time to enjoy stress free living with their eight year old son Quinn.
Having visited Hush Valley Lodge as guests in January of 2016, they decided this would be the exact change they needed.
In the pursuit of happiness, they partnered with Jo, Peter, Molly, Gary and Dan to make this dream a reality, and are currently the stewards of the magic that is Hush Valley Lodge.
