There are few animals – and offhand I can’t really think of any birds – with quite the mystique of the iridescent emerald-green denizen of southern Mexico and Central America known as the resplendent quetzal. Since they’re fairly rare (officially “near threatened”) and even more elusive, you’re very…

I have this kinda funny (as in funky, not ha-ha) tree growing right smack in the middle of my front yard in Miami.
