After work Monday, I got a knock on my door. It was a neighbor telling me to look out my window. Sitting directly across the street, four stories up in a tree, were two large wild macaws. They were enjoying the seedlings of a palm. They sat there for about 30 minutes. That was plenty of time for a neighbor and I to snap a bunch of photos. It was an experience unique to this area. It made me think of the many times I've enjoyed watching the majestic bald-eagles near my home in Juneau.
