23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
The Green Heart
This portrait captures a beautiful parrot or parakeet (likely from the Forpus or Brotogeris genus, common in the Andean region), perched boldly on the highest point of a young tree, observing the horizon under a vibrant blue sky. The scene illustrates the persistence of wildlife in the green spaces that abut the urban infrastructure of the city.
