Red-lored Parrot

Red-lored Parrot: Danta Corcovado Lodge, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica — Danta Corcovado Lodge has an observation tower, or canopy tower, on a hill about a mile from the lodge. The tower gets you high enough to see out over a large expanse of canopy across a small valley and up on the hill across. If you turn around you have a view out over a well grazed pasture hill to the tree line several miles away. We went out at sunset one day and sunrise another. Just after sunrise, these Red-lored Parrots settled in a tall tree well away from the tower, just within reach of my 600mm lens (the photos have been cropped to maybe the equivalent of a 3000mm lens…spotting scope territory). Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/640th.
