The Lear's (or Indigo) Macaw is a critically endangered species found in remote NE Brazil. They nest and roost in sandstone cliffs. The red and blue contrast is simply astounding.

This was a challenging shoot because the lighting conditions kept changing. We arrived before dawn and stayed through sunrise. One of the greatest birding experiences of my life.

These were tough to edit due to the ever changing lighting conditions. I welcome any helpful critiques. Thanks for looking.

Such beautiful birds. For all your concerns about post-processing these are looking pretty good on my laptop. Very nicely done.

I love them all. I was in Pantanal a couple years ago photographing Jaguars but also got some nice Hyacinth Macaw shots but non inflight. These birds are Beautiful.

Fantastic series, the backgrounds in those shots really make the blue Macaws jump off the page. Really nice work!
