A few from my 3 mornings of Quetzal hunting in CR....

As you may notice from the EXIF, quetzal hunting requires low light gear This is where I started to notice serious deficiencies in both the 1DX and 5D4's low light AF. Only the 1DX2 could reliably focus on these birds.

These birds are stunning Geoff. There is always manual focus

Amazing birds and photos Geoff....they did make you work for your supper it appears. Not too long ago it would have been impossible to capture decent shots in conditions like that....we've come a long way baby!

I think at least two of these were manual focus in the end. I used LV and zoomed in 10x and manual focused. Especially the last one with its back to me, it was hard to get an AF point only on the head that is further back.

Thanks Eric. It is amazing what this gear can do these days. Being happy at 6400 ISO is a nice thing.

Beautiful images! I also feel the focus on the 5D could be better but not complaining!

Nice job Geoff, in doing the same the lighting and time off day is a challenge for sure

What a beautiful set Geoff. You worked magic with the lighting conditions.
I love the one with the tail flipped in the air.

Thanks Juan. It really was only in these early morning, backlit, green bird on green jungle where it had issues. Otherwise it is a very good AF system for sure.
