Hi, this is my first post in the community, for a while I have uploaded several photos of birds in Hive, but finally I think I found the perfect place to share them. I look forward to contributing to the community and continuing to enjoy the many high quality images that I have seen here.

Now, going into detail, I want to share images of one of the most colorful birds in Costa Rica, the Scarlet Macaw. In the eighties these beautiful birds almost disappeared in the country, the theft of their nests and the sale as pets almost destroyed the species.

Fortunately, at the end of the nineties, intense campaigns of reproduction and protection of the habitat of these beautiful birds began, especially in the pacific region of Costa Rica. It has been a success, the populations have made a great recovery and today it is easy to observe and even photograph them while they feed on the many almond trees planted along the coasts.

Ahora, entrando en detalle, les quiero compartir imágenes de una de las aves más coloridas de Costa Rica, la Lapa roja. En los años ochentas estas hermosas aves casi llegaron a desaparecer en el país, el robo de sus nidos y la venta como mascotas casi acaba con la especie. Afortunadamente, a finales de los años noventas, iniciaron intensas campañas de reproducción y de protección del habitad de estas hermosas aves, especialmente en la región pacifica de costa Rica. Ha sido un éxito, las poblaciones han tenido una gran recuperación y hoy en día es fácil observarlas e incluso fotografiarlas mientras se alimentan de los muchos árboles de almendro sembrados a lo largo de las costas

Wow, so beautiful photos! The colors of this bird are so brilliant. In my area (I live in Italy) there are no similar ones <3

Thank you very much, yes, they are beautiful, although we were close to losing them. I invite you, if you have the opportunity, to come visit Costa Rica.

Greetings. Congratulations on those beautiful photos that you have achieved. I am fascinated by photographs of birds, especially if they are in flight and this one that you present has beautiful colors,
