Great Green Macaw: We went to a local ranch here in the Sarapiqui Valley where the family has been protecting Macaws for going on two generations. Not, in the beginning, for any other reason than they liked Macaws. They now have a flock of maybe 2-300, mostly Scarlet and hybrid Scarlet and Great Green…with a few pure breed Great Greens. They have feeding platforms where you can watch, and attempt to photograph the Macaws as they fly by at eye-level…and a garden where you can get close enough for portraits…of both the Macaws, and, on the day we visited, a visiting troop of fairly tame White-faced Capuchin monkeys. It is maybe not the same as seeing the macaws at the salt-licks in the Amazon, but it is a pretty amazing experience. And it certainly put my birds-in-flight Program modifications to the test. I was pleased with results and with how easy it was. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 200mm equivalent. (This bird was literally right in my face!) Processed in Photomatic.
