Description
The Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus moccino) is found in high altitude cloud forests from southern Mexico, south as far as western Panama. It is the national bird of Guatemala, where its image is featured on the country’s flag and coat of arms and its name that of Guatemalan currency, shortened to GTQ, an abbreviation for “Guatemalan quetzal”. It was also of great symbolic importance to the native Mesoamericans, part of Aztec and Mayan legends, art and lore. Tourists who are birders, photographers and ecotourists eagerly seek it out, thus the species has economic importance, and because of its limited range, it is a justifiable source of pride to the folks living where it is found. This oil painting is approximately life-size and is on birchwood and is 30 X 14 inches.
