Quetzals are strikingly colored birds in the trogon family. They are found in forests,especially in humid highlands,with the five species from the genus Pharomachrus being exclusively Neotropical,while a single species,the eared quetzal,Euptilotis neoxenus,is found in Guatemala,sometimes in Mexico and very locally in the southernmost United States. In the highlands of the states of Sonora,Chihuahua,Sinaloa,Durango,Nayarit,Zacatecas,Jalisco,and Michoacán,the eared quetzal can be found from northwest to west-central Mexico. It is a Mesoamerican indigenous species,but some reports show that it occasionally travels and nests in southeastern Arizona and New Mexico in the United States. June to October is the mating season for eared quetzals. Quetzals are fairly large,slightly bigger than other trogon species. The resplendent quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala because of its vibrant colour and cultural significance to the Maya.

The Schoodic Peninsula is a peninsula in Down East Maine. It is located four miles (6 km) east of Bar Harbor,Maine,as the crow flies. The Schoodic Peninsula contains 2,266 acres (9 km2),or approximately 5% of Acadia National Park. It includes the towns of Gouldsboro and Winter Harbor. The peninsula has a rocky granite shoreline containing many volcanic dikes. The peninsula is home to the former United States Navy base,NSGA Winter Harbor,which has been converted into a National Park Service training center. A 3,300-acre (13 km2) resort development was proposed for land abutting Schoodic Peninsula's national park holdings to the north. An anonymous donor eventually bought the entire 3,200-acre tract and built the Schoodic Woods Campground and miles of gravel bike paths before donating all of it to Acadia National Park. Opening in 2015,Schoodic Woods is the newest campground in Acadia National Park,and the first built in the park since the original campgrounds were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression beginning in 1936. In the summer,the Schoodic peninsula is currently served by two separate ferry services from Bar Harbor to Winter Harbor that run daily.
