We were on our way to the airport when a brilliant flash of color caught our eye. There were four or five red and green macaws roosting in a dead tree trunk, squawking away as they jockeyed for position. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 140, f/5.6 at 1/320th of a second.

That’s a lovely capture, Sean!
Thanks Sue. Along with toucans, nothing says tropics to me quite like macaws.
Niiiice!
Thanks Angelina.
This your lesson to us: to always keep your eyes open for photo ops—you never know where or when they’ll pop up!
Thanks Laura. I risked being late for my flight, but wasn’t about to not stop when I saw these guys.
