Welcome to QuetzalCam!

Welcome to QuetzalCam 2003!
Remember, these are artificial boxes inside the natural environment and exposed to the same conditions as the natural ones.
This is QuetzalCam 2003 #3.
The chick get out before its time... a weasel gets in the nest (one of the lasts pictures), the chick could fly out there but needed more practice... we've rescued it and track it since 8:00am to 3:30pm (the hour that we've lost it). The mom was feeding it all this time and we hope it's growing well out there in the wild forest.
