BLUE AND GOLD MACAW, CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA, JANUARY 26, 2014
Pentax K-3
Pentax 55-300 at 260mm
1/250 sec. f6.3
ISO 1600
I don't know what the ruffled head feathers mean, but this was taken not in the wilds of Colombia but in a public park near the cruise terminal in Cartagena. The Colombians were smart to equip it with a variety of birds and creatures for the pleasure of visiting amateur photographers. (Later: A macaw owner friend says the ruffled feathers can be either a come-on for attention or an attempt to intimidate.)
