Resplendent Quetzal
The Resplendent quetzal is considered an umbrella bird in Costa Rica because as the cloud forest is protected for the quetzal, other species from the area benefit as well. Their iridescent feathers, which cause them to appear shiny and green like the canopy leaves, are a camouflage adaptation to hide within the canopy during rainy weather. It has large eyes, adapted to see in the dim light of the forest.
