In fact, we went to watch them taking in the clay super early in the morning and while we were waiting for them to come, we sat in a hideout off the river watching the sun come up. And that's how we caught that shot of the moisture coming out from the rain forest. Unfortuneatly, I did not have a great camera at the time to get nice parrot shots. Not anymore.
