Scarlet Macaws

Nice flight shot with the two birds in slightly different wing positions and a good composition. Difficult to say much about sharpness at this size image. At only 200 birds they are the living dead, hard to recover from that low a number I would think, very sad.

Good documentary image that should be appreciated considering their plight. Their colors are simply amazing.

Beautiful shot that will not be possibly much longer.
It's a very sad situation for sure.

Richard,
this is very sad story. I love these birds and their colors.

Nice photo and sad story. Would make a good addition to the EP gallery.

Good work finding Macaws at eye level. The contrasting wing positions and the layers of birds, ridge and background give the shot additional punch.

The plight of Scarlet Macaws in Panama is just as grim. They are nearly extirpated on the mainland, and hang on only in remote areas like Darien, Amistad and a few islands.

How anyone can cage these birds is beyond me. Nice that you captured a couple with their freedom. Sharon

I wasnt aware they were as endangered as this Richard.Very nice shot, flying slightly towards you and the wing positions are good. Pictures such as this with all that colour look best in poster sizes.

I wasn't aware that there were so few of these gogrous birds in the wild in Belize. A very sad plight indeed. I like the poses of the macaws, the rainforest in the background and the comp you used.

Wow taht is pretty. Great photo op.

Wonderful catch Richard, a pity about almost all the macaws now being endangered by the pet trade. Same story in Ecuador.

Lovely catch Richard, I hope to see some again in a few weeks myself!

Beautiful Richard! It must be cool to see birds like these flying around!

Nice look at these beauties Richard. Nicely composed with the forest in the background. I cannot understand why people want to cage such beauties.

Great shot, and a really sad story.
