Cobalt-winged Parakeet (Ecuador)

 Here's something a little different from me.

In the Amazon the parrots and parakeets need to feed on clay each day to aid in digestion.  Here the birds were fairly far away and the light was dim.  So going for a pleasing wing-blur image seemed the way to go.

I hope you enjoy it!
