The Macal River Valley in Belize is home to three-toed tapirs, elusive jaguars, and a rare subspecies of scarlet macaw. |
Jasper, the eight-year-old macaw, was on top form, singing, talking and clicking his tongue at all and sundry. |
The young great green macaw wobbled aerially into a nearby copse of trees, where it disappeared in the dense leaves, green vanishing into green. |
She was a rather slight, elderly woman with a nose that resembled the large beak of a macaw. |
Everything from the modest sparrow to the extravagant scarlet macaw came to perch and settle around her. |
Here you stand a good chance of spotting such rare birds as the chestnut-fronted macaw and red-throated caracara. |
