A way to explain our photos: point to each individual, species or landscape element and tell its story.

Who is who on this branch
One perch, three macaw species and the tree that brings them together. Hover or tap each number.
- 1Ara severus
Chestnut-fronted macaw
The smallest of the macaws. Green, with chestnut forehead and cheeks; flies in family flocks.
- 2Ara macao
Scarlet macaw
Red with yellow and blue — the colors of the flag. Forms lifelong pairs and nests in large trees.
- 3Ara ararauna
Blue-and-yellow macaw
Deep blue back, yellow chest and a white facial mask. Feeds on seeds, fruits and palm nuts.
- 4Spondias mombin
Jobo (yellow mombin)
A tree native to the tropical dry forest. Its fruit feeds countless species: macaws, parrots, monkeys and fruit-eating birds.
This jobo branch (Spondias mombin) brings three of the tropical dry forest macaws of the Colombian Caribbean into a single frame: the chestnut-fronted macaw (Ara severus), the scarlet macaw (Ara macao) and the blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna). Their gathering is no accident: the jobo is a native tree whose fruiting draws many frugivorous species —macaws, parrots, monkeys and birds— to a single resource. That is why we record the date of every photo: fruit availability shifts with the tree's phenology and with the season (dry or rainy), and knowing when an image was taken helps us read the animals' behavior and plan our monitoring. These "annotated windows" are the first step toward a system for identifying and tracking individuals from field photographs.

Where this is going
This is a first piece of a larger system. Each marker could stop being static and become an identified individual: a specific bird with its own history — when it arrived, its rehabilitation, its release, where it has been seen again. The same annotated window would serve to tag monitoring photos and to power a future enrichment system that links each image to field data.
