Scarlet Macaw: La Vergin, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, March 2025 — Again from our roadside stop in La Vergin on the way to Dave and Dave’s Costa Rican Nature Park. As I said yesterday the clouds came and went rapidly so the sky behind the birds was constantly changing. This is clearly a bonded pair and the Macaw bond is a lifetime bond. This behavior is often described as “affection” and may well be. You can see the mutual preening happening in the third photo. Whatever it is, it is a captivating display. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator and assembled in FrameMagic.
