Big Zoom, Big Character

Blue-and-Gold Macaw at the Omaha Zoo. 5/12/19. Nikon d700, Tamron 150-600 g2

I love this portrait. I love the character you can see in the macaw. I love the detail the Tamron lens brings out. And I love the experience I had meeting this guy at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo.

But what I love just as much as any of that is how easy it is to remember the names of macaw species. This one is blue and gold. It’s the Blue-and-Gold Macaw. You know the red and green ones? They’re the Red-and-Green Macaw.

I don’t know who named these guys, but give that dude a medal……… …….a blue and gold medal?
