here are some more Macaws - they are about 1/2 size of the Red and Green or Hyacinth - but they have beautiful feathers and with morning light they really show off

one of my target birds while in Brazil the Hyacinth Macaw and Red and green Macaw - we managed to see them in a tree where they had nest holes - they mate for life and enjoy each others company - and such beautiful colors - very endangered too

there are so many different types of parrots, big and small in the Brazilian wild lands

while watching the Jaguars mossy around we talked to a biologist from Houston who studies them in this area - they have created a book with photos and describe how to identify different individuals from the their face markings - I will be looking carefully at my photos trying to ID some of them...

Love these guys and it is a treat to see them each winter in various location around the Phoenix AZ area
