Description

The Yellow-eared Parrot (Ognorhynchus icterotis), captured in the high-altitude cloud forests of Roncesvalles, Tolima, Colombia, is a striking species endemic to the Andean region. This vibrant parrot, adorned in lush green plumage with a golden-yellow facial marking, perches gracefully among dried branches, bathed in warm sunlight. The blurred backdrop of blue and gold hues enhances the bird’s natural elegance, creating a visually compelling composition.

As a species deeply intertwined with the endangered wax palms of Colombia, the Yellow-eared Parrot represents a conservation success story, rebounding from the brink of extinction through dedicated efforts. This photograph encapsulates the species’ resilience and the delicate balance of its ecosystem.
