We spent the morning of Sunday, January 15, 2012, birding along a small tributary (Tapara Creek) of the Amazon below the main confluence of the Ucayali-Marañón Rivers. Brad photographed a Cobalt-winged Parakeet, Brotogeris cyanoptera, that was perched above our skiff. It is a mainly green colored parakeet with prominent blue remiges and wing coverts. Unfortunately, lighting conditions and distance make it difficult to discern the beautiful color of this individual. Temperatures were in the upper 70's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
