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
