TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao)
Quinam, Trinidad, 3 April 1999. Photo © by Harry Lehto. Although not visible in this photograph, yellow was clearly observed between the blue and the red, which distinguishes this species from the Red-and-green Macaw (A. chloropterus). Its origin is unknown. Although escape from captivity seems likely, natural vagrancy from South America is plausible.
