I was on vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and on one of the excursions we visited an eco-archaeological park called Xcaret, where you are engulfed in the history of Mexico through magestic shows and excavation sites, beautiful native plants and animals and an abundance of activities. I stopped to greet a few Scarlet Macaws that were hanging out. Noting that this photo was not taken in the wild, but focuses on the stunning colors and features of this wild bird species. © Christie Wrazen 2015, Solidaridad, Quintana Roo, Mexico, Hand-held.
