Scarlet Macaw: Playa Blanca, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, December 2022 — not the best bird of the day by far, but certainly the slowest! A large flock of Scarlet Macaws are attracted to the Beach Almond trees along the waterfront in Playa Blanca, not far from Danta Corcovado lodge here on the Osa Peninsula. We saw maybe a 8-10 there last year, but this year there were more than two dozen, maybe more, feeding in almost the same trees (between rain storms). It was a treat to watch and photograph these large spectacular…and very noisy…birds. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 250 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Plus .3EV.
