## Caption

Photo by Pete McBride pedromcbride | When planning and patience align with serendipity: For two days, I listened to the scarlet macaws, noting the trees they frequented but never timed their landing. Five minutes before I left, I heard their squawks and snapped this synchronized landing at dawn. These strikingly colorful fliers stay with one partner for life, traveling in tandem, and they can live for up to 50 years. For more wildlife, follow pedromcbride. #costarica #wildlife #macaws #birds #conservation #nature #sonyalpha  #petemcbride
