Of course with all those photos, I had to make a book! It is mostly birds but includes culture photos of Granada, people, Semana Santa, and interesting roadside shots across the country. You can click on the image above and electronically thumb through the book for free. No purchase required! 🙂
Parrots & Parakeets in Nicaragua
All are too high or far away for my camera to get a good photo, but here they are:
 |
| Orange-fronted Parakeets Montibelli Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |
 |
| Pacific Parakeets, Chocoyero-El Brujo Natural Reserve Ticuantepe, Nicaragua Hundreds of parakeets fly in every evening to nest in the holes in a high rock wall. |
 |
| White-fronted Parrot El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua |
 |
| White-crowned Parrot El Jaguar Nature Reserve, Nicaragua He was actually greener than this shows. Late afternoon light/shadows do funny things in photos. |
About Parrots on Wikipedia
And since the Pacific Parakeet was a new one for me. I read this paragraph on Wikipedia and learned that El Chocoyero is the only place any of them live now, so a rare parakeet also called Nicaraguan green conure. Wow! I live close to a lot of cool places! And really glad I spent a week in Nicaragua not only because I got photos of about 85 species of birds but I love the place now!
