As of today, past peak, season runs to ~July 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Every year the Central American scarlet macaw (Ara macao, regional subspecies A. m. cyanoptera) breeds in the remote La Moskitia region of northeastern Honduras.
Community patrols and local rescue centers monitor nests, which are typically in tall pine trees and nearby gallery forest; timing varies with food and rainfall, with eggs laid in the dry season and chicks often fledging into the rainy months.
