Red-fronted Macaw (Bolivia)

Hi everyone,

I just got back from a month in Bolivia. What a great trip! With over 1500 species of birds Bolivia has a lot to chase after. I'll have quite a few to post over the upcoming few weeks but I thought I would start with this beautiful Red-fronted Macaw which is endemic to Bolivia.

This shot was taken from atop a cliff. The BG is a river far below.

All the best!

I'm glad you explained the background. I was gonna ask what you cut out!! :)

Looks like he's got his eye on you.

Very nice! I've never seen one in flight.

Wow, beautiful bird and a great shot! So nice to see a macaw flying free.
