Red-bellied Macaw

Red-bellied Macaw, Amazon River near Iquitos

We saw at least 3 species of Macaw on the Amazon River Boat Adventure with Wildside Nature Tours, two of them perched where we could get a good look. The Red-bellied Macaw was the smallest and least colorful, but still…a Macaw in the wild! This bird was high up in a dead snag and a good ways away, so I pulled my Nikon P900 out of its bag for the first (and last) time on the trip. The 2000mm equivalent zoom brought the bird in close enough to enjoy. 

Nikon P900 at 2000mm equivalent and Program Mode. Processed in Polarr and assembled in Frame Magic on my iPad Pro.
