This trip I got photos of 4 species of parrots as shown in the 4 photos below with each followed by a link to my CR Birds Gallery for that species. Though I’ve never gotten all 8 on one visit there, the other 4 I’ve previously photographed at Maquenque are both Macaws: Scarlet & Green, the Mealy Parrot, and the Crimson-fronted Parakeet. Here’s one photo for the email notice and the other three follow online.
It is possible to photograph more than 4 there, but this is not bad for one lodge and two are pretty good photos, if I do say so myself. 🙂 The other two aren’t high quality, but then birds aren’t required to pose and the Crimson-fronted did everything in that tree except pose! 🙂 And until there are more grown, fruiting Almond Trees, those Green Macaws are going to keep flying over! 🙂 But anyway, here’s my record of seeing 4 different kinds of parrots at Maquenque recently . . .
I had some tough choices to show only 5 more birds, but that is best for now and I will maybe skip a day while I go through other photos for some future posts from Maquenque. Then I will get back to blogs about our tranquil little farm town of Atenas. 🙂
Here’s my last 5 bird portraits . . .
