The Resplendent Quetzal (Trogonidae) lives in the cloud forests of Central America. In Costa Rica, nest boxes have been placed in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve to increase the population sizes of these birds, which are listed as near threatened by C.I.T.E.S. Cameras placed inside the boxes from 2000 to 2003 as web cams and captured stills inside the nests. I used these four years of captured images and made external observations of two nests to study if there were differences in parental investment for incubation and rearing. I found evidence that 1. During incubation the female spent more total time in the nest than the male (Nest 2 tied p-value =0.0001). 2. The male had significantly more visits per day during incubation than the f...
