Description
The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is as showy a bird as you could hope to see. Its native habitat is the tropical forests of South America though it ranges as far north as south-eastern Mexico. This one's pose allows us to enjoy the full length of its body and tail. The predominantly red plumage is particularly beautiful against the greens of the rain forest plants you see here. I have digitally painted this photo; the effect is heavier on the background than on the bird itself.
