    Default Red and Green Macaw (Peru)

    Greetings from Peru everyone!

    My appologies for my lack of participation these past 6 weeks. I have been in the Peruvian Amazon and largely away from electricity (let alone internet). After spending 6 weeks in Peru I can tell you all that it is indeed a bird watchers paradise. Where I was staying in Manu National Park has 1000 species - in one park :shock:

    I'm just back in Lima for a day to do some laundrey, emailing, etc. and then I'm back off into the field. I'll be visiting some pretty remote regions of the central highlands and have a few gems that I am after.

    In any case here is a spectacular bird from the lowlands - the Red and Green Macaw. I am not very confident in the calibration of my laptop. Rather...it is a $350 laptop and probably cannot be calibrated accurately. I did the best I could on this one and hopefully it looks Ok.

    All the best everyone!

    Glenn,

    Beautiful image. Exposure seems tricky with this colorful bird and you did well on that.

    Cool colours and overall a nice capture. Would love to see it larger though.
