22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Visiting macaw during the pandemic

“Profiling“ This macaw visited daily and bringing color and light at a time when it was needed the most. I decided to take this photo before he flew away, I managed to capture his curious and skeptical look. These vulnerable creatures are targeted, caught, and sold in the exotic pet trade. Shortly after seeing this Macaw it was reported missing and has not been seen since.
