Color macro photo. A stem covered in green and tiny spiky leaves projects up from frame left to top right. One of the tiny leaves is hanging below the end of the stem by a spiderweb so fine it is not visible in the photo.

(The Hyacinth Macaws are at the Cougar Mountain Zoo, which you should definitely check out if you’re in the Seattle area.)

Color photo. Two brilliant blue parrots, Hyacinth Macaws, sitting on brown branches in the shade. Green grass, lit by the sun, is behind them. One of the macaws is looking at the camera, the yellow around it's eye and lower beak highly visible. The other is preening, head tucked under a half raised wing.
