Scarlet Macaws in the Yard

Even though there are loads of Scarlet Macaws on the Osa Peninsula (in fact, I recently read that we have the highest population in Central America), we rarely see them perching around Cerro Osa. They tend to spend a lot of time at lower elevations, especially around the beaches in the almond trees. This afternoon, however, I heard their distinctive screech and saw this couple eating some very green guavas. Of course when I grabbed the camera they flew higher to perch on the other side of the house and enjoy their fruit.
