Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica


On our third trip to Costa Rica we finally saw some Scarlet Macaws in nature. They were fabulously loud and beautiful. They are doing some wonderful things to re-introduce the Scarlet Macaw where their population has been declining in numbers in recent years. They are I believe now increasing in population which is great news. We saw them in Carerra National Park, Costa Rica and also in Sierpe, and Corcovado. Amazing!
