Costa Rica - Tortuguero - Macaws Have a Feast!


Chris and I had a fantastic day of Great Green Macaw observations with a group of birds frequenting the trees within the grounds of the Sea Turtle Visitor Centre in Tortuguero. The birds were seen feeding on the fruits over a two hour period. A sample of the fruit has been taken and photographed depicting its various layers.
The birds rest for a short period before flying back over the waterway and out of view. It is not clear if the birds visit other fruiting trees or have a preferred resting site. A couple of Scarlet Macaw was seen but although both species consume the same fruits they did not join their Green cousins on this occasion.

More from San Francisco next..
