Description
There are only a few thousand great green macaws in Central America. I got this photo while visiting the ARA Green Macaw Refuge Center in Costa Rica. They have dozens of injured, orphaned, etc. great greens that they are rehabbing in preparation for reintroduction into the wild. This one is actually in the wild, but still hanging around the center. As it expands its territory it will eventually become part of a wild community of Great Greens and stop returning. At any one time about a dozen of these spectacularly beautiful birds are flying free around the observation platform near the center.
