From December 26, 2001 - January 12, 2002, we took a trip to Peru. The first 10 days of the trip was with an Earthwatch expedition studying the macaws of the Peruvian Amazon. In the Amazon jungle along the Tambopata River in southeastern Peru, we studied the nesting habits of the macaws as well as their use of natural clay licks and the effects of tourism on their behavior.
