Red-and-Green Macaws, Bolivia, 2000

A mated pair of red-and-green macaws soars above the forest in Bolivia's Madidi National Park. These long-lived birds mate for life, and couples spend nearly every minute together.

(Text adapted from and photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Madidi: Will Bolivia Drown Its New National Park?" March 2000, National Geographic magazine)
