Scarlet Macaw: Pierrella Ecology Garden, Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, December 2024 — We had gone back to finish our lunches when someone called out the Scarlet Macaws that had come into the same trees where we had just seen the Great Green Macaws, so of course, we grabbed cameras and when back out to the Garden entrance. Indeed, half a dozen Scarlet Macaws were feeding, along with a few Great Green’s left over from the previous group. The Scarlet Macaw was never in as much trouble as the Great Green in Costa Rica as its diet is not so specialized, and it is more adaptable to habitat changes, but it is always great to see a wild flock of Macaws. They are spectacular birds. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di3 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
