Geocache Description:

SCARLET MACAW

The Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) is a large, colorful macaw. It is native to humid evergreen forests in the American tropics. It is the national bird of Honduras.
It is about 81 centimetres (32 in) long, of which more than half is the pointed, graduated tail typical of all macaws. The average weight is about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb).
The Scarlet Macaw can live up to 75 years in captivity and 40 to 50 years in the wild.
Scarlet Macaws eat mostly fruits and seeds, including large, hard seeds. A typical sighting is of a single bird or a pair flying above the forest canopy, though in some areas flocks can be seen. They may gather at clay licks.
The Scarlet Macaw lays two or three white eggs in a tree cavity. The female incubates the eggs for about 5 weeks, and the chicks fledge from the nest about 90 days after hatching and leave their parents about a year later.

Cache placed with premission of Martin Morse, Park Services Specialist.
