Wild Scarlet Macaw High Canopy Cam

The High Canopy Perspective

Perched in the upper reaches of a mature Guanacaste tree, this feeder cam offers a rare eye-level view of life in the forest roof. From this vantage, the broad, spreading branches become a stage for Scarlet Macaws as they perch, preen and survey their surroundings far above the ground.

The Scarlet Macaw

One of the most striking birds in the Americas, the Scarlet Macaw wears a vivid plumage of crimson, blue and yellow. Highly social and intelligent, these parrots travel in noisy, bonded pairs and flocks, filling the canopy with raucous calls as they feed and interact.

A Conservation Partnership

This camera operates in partnership with the Macaw Recovery Network, an organization devoted to protecting and recovering endangered parrot populations across the Americas. Watching these wild birds helps connect viewers to the ongoing work of safeguarding tropical biodiversity.

A Rainforest Setting

The surrounding canopy belongs to the lush tropical dry and rainforest of Costa Rica's Pacific coast, a habitat rich with wildlife. Beyond the macaws, attentive viewers may glimpse howler monkeys and other forest dwellers moving through the dense green foliage.
