Deep in the jungle of the Ecuadorian Amazon is Yasuni National Park, home to an incredibly diversity of wildlife. While in the park, I spent three days visiting a clay lick, a place where parakeets, parrots and macaws may come to eat clay or drink nutrient-rich water to compensate for the toxins and acidity of the fruits that they eat. Cobalt-winged Parakeets were supposed to visit this location on a daily basis to eat the clay. On the first day at the clay lick, we didn't have much luck with anything. On the second day, we were treated by a rare visit by three beautiful Scarlet Macaws. The birds were extremely shy and it took them hours to decide to come down to the ground. When they did, it was an incredible experience; only a few small rays of sunshine made it through the forest canopy, but they created a spotlight on this stunning bird, which allowed for some interesting photos.
