Quetzal
Quetzals are beautifully colored birds of the trogon family (Trogonidae) found in tropical regions of the Americas. The word "quetzal" was originally used for just the Resplendent Quetzal, Pharomachrus mocinno, the famous long-tailed quetzal of Central America, which is the national symbol of Guatemala. It still often refers to that bird specifically but now also names all the species of the genera Pharomachrus and Euptilotis. The six quetzal species and their English common names are:
Euptilotis neoxenus is related to Pharomachrus and is called the Eared Quetzal by some authorities, such as the American Ornithologists' Union, but the Eared Trogon by others. Etymology or word originThe name "quetzal" is from Nahuatl quetzalli, "large brilliant tail feather" (American Heritage Dictionary) or "tail coverts of the quetzal" (Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary), from the Nahuatl root quetz = "stand up" used to refer to an upstanding plume of feathers. Pharomachrus is from ancient Greek pharos, "mantle", and makros, "long", referring to the wing and tail coverts of the Resplendent Quetzal. (The second h is unexplained.) See also

Quetzal in the news
Nuestra ave símbolo, majestuosa, elegante, delicada, escurridiza y orgullosa.A esta hermosa ave debe nuestra moneda su nombre, que en épocas pasadas era tan fuerte como el dólar, pero se vino abajo y ahora apenas vale el equivalente de US$0,1298. If you are an avid bird watcher, be sure to check out this video! The Republic of Panama has excellent birdwatching, including the unique Quetzal bird, found in the cloud forests of Central America (namely Costa Rica and Panama). Here we shall deal with another Quetzal-a live DVD/CD system, based on OpenBSD. The system contains a full OpenBSD installation, and a collection of selected applications. Our window manager of choice is WindowMaker. Its geometrical simplicity, modularity, performance, stability and internal architecture, match nicely with the philosophy of OpenBSD
