Red-lored Parrot: La Selva Biological Station, OTS, Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica \u2014 Red-lored Parrots are becoming common in San Diego, California in US, and I always enjoy seeing them when I attend the San Diego Birding Festival (which I have not gotten to do in several years now)\u2026but it is a whole other thing to see them in their native habitat. For some reason these last two trips to Costa Rica in December 2021 were the most productive parrot trips I have yet had. We had more species and more frequent sightings than ever before. A pair of Red-loreds came to the edge of the clearing around the buildings on the far side of the Puerto Viejo river suspension bridge at La Selva Biological Station at the same time as the Puffbirds posted yesterday (and a couple more birds which I will feature in the days to come). We were spoiled for choice. \ud83d\ude42 The parrots remained high, just below the canopy, but perched out in the open for us. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. These are heavy crops, for the equivalent of at lest 3000mm, and then put through Pixelmator\u2019s Machine Learning Maximum Resolution treatment\u2026as well as being adjusted for highlights and shadows and sharpness. ISO 200 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
