Yesterday I took two friends birding to see some Miami area exotic birds.  They were not disappointed as we were able to see a large number of exotics.  In the Miami area, you never know what birds you may see.  For many years, we have had a few dozen Blue-and-Yellow Macaws roaming around the city and suburban areas.   It is always a treat to see them, the photos posted here are from a flock of 13 birds.  They have been breeding for years but the number of birds is still pretty low.  These were seen in a bustling shopping center, it’s a truly amazing sight to see such a beautiful bird.
