I had very good luck with scarlet macaws on our recent trip and have a lot to share, including some fun video. But I thought I’d start with this simple portrait that shows off the three primary colors of the feathers. “Scarlet macaw” is the most commonly used name, but they are also sometimes referred to as red-and-yellow macaws, red-and-blue macaws or red-breasted macaws. Photographed in Piedras Blancas National Park in southern Costa Rica. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1400, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second.

What a beauty, Sean! Such brilliant colors in those feathers set against the Kodachrome greens of summer! It’s a great image!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing Costa Rica.
Just gorgeous! Beyond the eye=popping technicolor, the detail of the feathers, and white around his eye is stunning. Wonderful capture!
