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 Dusky-headed Parakeet, Aratinga weddellii, that was peering at us out of its nesting hole. Its large white orbital eye ring and dull gray head are its distinguishing characteristics. The bill is black, and the tail is long and graduated like other Aratinga. Temperatures were in the mid-80's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
