@FransLanting I traveled to a nearly inaccessible part of Peru’s upper Amazon Basin to chronicle the spectacle of macaws who visit certain river banks to eat clay. The gathering of hundreds of these gaudy birds is glorious, and became the centerpiece of my work. But it took weeks of effort to overcome the suspicion of this flock of wary macaws and convince them to accept my presence inside a camouflaged tower blind at the base of this flood-carved wall along the Manu River. They eat clay, scientists theorize, to neutralize toxins in their diet—or to obtain the salts missing in a sodium-poor environment. This area, protected as Manu National Park and as a World Heritage Site, covers millions of acres from the cloud forests of the Andes down to the Amazon lowlands and is regarded as one of the richest regions on earth for biodiversity. Follow me @FransLanting for more images of wildlife around the world.
