[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the Pantanal the Green-winged Macaw (Ara chloroptera) also nests in trunk cavities and fights for them against other birds. The manduvi palm (sterculia apetala) trunk is far and away the favorite. It has a soft kernel that is easily hollowed when branches drop off, or are broken by woodpeckers, or fungi, termites or bacteria.
The Green-winged Macaw feeds on various fruit.
In the photo this Macaw was digging his cavity.

Good details, with the macaw's bold colors jumping out of the frame :)
Nice tree-hugging pose, good POV also.
Well done.

Hi Peter,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful Macaw with such bright colours and sharpness on its plumage. Superb lighting and you have captured a fine pose set againt the tree trunk as BG. The blue sky looks charming here. Excellent POV and very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.

Peter, your trip to Brazil really paid off, didn't it?

Excellent colors, pov and composition.

I like saturation and contrast too.
