http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/563... I wouldn't be surprised if these were taken on the same stretch of road (may be the same trees, may be the same birds).

WOW!
Thanks for the precisions Sergei! I see you have now moved the location. I have indeed seen quite a few flying in pairs along the shoreline in Corcovado. They are a magnificent sight!
Daniele you are right. Ara can be seen only on the Pacific coasts: in Corcovado National Park and near Jaco where they have been repopulated in the last years. I didn't remember the exact location and I have written a central city in Costa Rica. This shot was taken along the way between Manuel Antonio National Park and Jacò. There were a big tree with on 3 couples while mating.
