Painted Parakeets

6/29/2022

 
Picture
I spotted a group of Painted Parakeets near the lodge, but not all were sitting in the same tree. Most of them were hiding but luckily there was a group that wanted to be seen. This was the closest I could get and they weren't even bothered by my presence. Just love it when they help me out too.

Peeking through: Blue-and-Yellow Macaw

Picture
Somehow this Blue-and-Yellow Macaw had no problem with all the thorns from this palm tree. It even looks like it is having a great time up there.

Brighten up your day: Blue-and-Yellow Macaw

10/13/2021

 
Picture
It was my lucky day. A group of Blue-and-Yellow Macaws were sitting pretty low while eating some nuts from a nearby Maripa palm tree. This one was even posing for me for a couple of seconds and since it was a sunny day too, all I had to do is aim and shoot. And of course enjoy the moment.

Hiding in plain view: Scarlet Macaw

10/6/2021

 
Picture
This Scarlet Macaw was sitting quietly high up in the trees. He wasn't making any sounds at all but it was a sunny day and his colorful display was giving him away. It must have been his afternoon break because he was just sitting there looking back at me. For him up there, it was much easier to look at me, but for me, down there, was a different story. I had to walk my way through logs, branches, sticks, leaves, ants, mosquitos and small grasshoppers just to find the right spot to photograph him. He must have thought that I was a bit crazy down there. Sometimes I wonder what the birds think of me.

Sharing & Caring: Red-and-Green Macaws

9/29/2021

 
Picture
This Red-and-Green Macaw couple have been together since 2017. I have seen them several times near the River Cabins. Since they are free to go whenever they please, they can be gone for weeks or even months before I see them again. Macaws are very social animals, they cuddle a lot and from time to time they also share their food with each other. When I took this photo, it was inside the rainforest and it was late in the afternoon. This gave both Macaws a nice warm color.

Digiscoping: Scarlet Macaws

12/5/2018

 
Picture
About half a year ago I bought a Spotting scope to look at wildlife for a long time. Especially when I like to spot birds, this device comes in handy. Here I spotted a couple of Scarlet Macaws inside the rainforest. They were resting during the day and since it was also a warm day, they decided to hide under the shades of the trees.
Picture
This Spotting Scope also had an adapter to make it possible to take pictures with this scope. It looks like these Macaws were right nearby but in reality they were in one of the highest/tallest trees in the Amazon rainforest. 
It was such a treat for me to look at these marvelous animals without getting a stiff neck and shaky hands by holding my binocular for so long.
