We took this photograph of a male Blue-winged Parrotlet during the morning of October 4, 2011, at Reserva Volta Vehla. The Blue-winged Parrotlet is a short (5.1 in.), stocky, green-colored bird with a short, tapered tail. The species is sexually dimorphic. Males have blue on the primary and underwing coverts, the remiges and the rump. The face, ear coverts, thighs and vent area are a brighter emerald green. Females lack the identifying blue coloration. We birded the main clearing area near the dining hall until the weather cleared. Temperatures were in the 70's on this cloudy, overcast morning. The Volta Velha Reserve is a popular birding spot in southern Brazil and is well-known among birders around the world. It is located in Itapoã on the northern coast of Santa Catarina state. The reserve encompasses about 2,300 acres within one of the largest areas of undisturbed Atlantic Forest (lowland rainforest on the coastal plain of Brazil) and is one of the most endangered biomes on earth.
