Field Notes
Description:
The Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) is one of 16 living species of macaws and the largest parrot in the world.
Habitat:
The Hyacinth Macaw avoids heavily forested areas throughout most of its range. Only in a small part of its range, in southeastern Paraguay, has it been recorded from a rainforest. Most of its range is lightly forested with the seasonally flooded grassland of Brazil's and Bolivia's Pantanal holding a major part of its population.
Notes:
Recent estimates of the number surviving in the wild have ranged from 2,500 to 5,000.
Observed while staying at the wonderful Fazenda Barranco Alto.
