These two white-crowned parrots were preening each other atop a dead palm tree, occasionally popping in and out of the hollow in the tree. They are relatively small parrots and their range is fully within Mexico and Centra America. These two were photographed in La Selva, Costa Rica. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 600mm manual focus lens, ISO 400, f/8 at 1/90th of a second
Besides being a gorgeous shot they’re so beautiful it looks like the one bird turn down the other bird for a date and the bird is sad he puts his little head down LOL

Great shot of beautiful birds – Costa Rica does parrots right!
They sure do Sue. Can’t wait to get back.
They look like a statue.
Terrific colors and smooth bokeh to go with cute subjects.
Thanks Rick. That was my old 600 manual focus lens. Great glass, if not a bit difficult to photograph moving wildlife with.
