Description
During a trip to Costa Rica, I was privileged to find a tree with a group of Scarlet Macaws hanging out. While I took their pictures, I was hoping that I would have gotten a closer shot, but it is not possible from my vantage point.
As I was walking away with disappointment, one of the Macaws flew into a tree right in front of me and after squawking a couple of times, started to eat some tree almonds.
It was almost as if this bird didn’t want me to walk away without getting a good shot.
The Scarlet Macaw is truly a beautiful bird. They mate for life, so you will often see them flying in pairs. It is a common joke that the reason that their squawk is so awful sounding is because they mate for life.
Unfortunately due to deforestation, pesticides, hunting and other factors, the Scarlet Macaw is an endangered species.
I was so thrilled to find some during my trip, they are truly magnificent.
