This was my first time seeing one of the great Ara macaws, and even though they were far away, it was a delight to see a whole group of them land in that tree and happily munch on the trees. They're endangered and have been wiped out from much of their former range (which stretches from Mexico to Argentina), from a combination of deforestation and capture for the pet trade, but there seems to be a good population hanging on in that canyon.
