Haven't heard of it before. I think rarity=>value relationship is a strong principle in our minds. It takes an effort to break this habit of thought. Nice, well-written essay on an exotic bird.

The Quetzal was the first thing I thought of reading your recent bird watching excerpt. keep looking, I remember it being on the cover of a guidebook and it was a bit of a mission for me to see it as well. we saw it and the hunt in itself created quite the memorable event.

But with no risk of Tourista! Keep your eyes on the road. Bella and I just wrapped up the ski season at Alpine. There is still 120" up on the mountain. We ticked off a couple of new tight chutes from our "to-do" list. It was a parents proud moment to see a daughter safely negotiate a tight, difficult and potentially dangerous descent. Bella wore a wide smile of pride as she came scooting out from between the rocks. She says she'd like to learn to telemark next season. That should insure that I can keep up with her, at least for another season. Cheers, Chris Hi Guys,
