On June 11th, 2022, after having previously been declared extinct in the wild, the first batch of captive-bred Spix's Macaws were released in Brazil's Caatinga dry forest. A year later, the birds are doing well, with additional introductions planned for the future. Though complete success is still many years away, dependent upon the population becoming firmly established and self-sufficient, it's hard not to feel a thrill at the sight of azure parrots flying again across an open sky.
I did this pastel drawing last year in honor of the Spix's Macaw's return to the wild. You can follow the Association for the Conservation of Threatened Parrots to keep track of the reintroduction effort.

Spix’s Disk-winged Bat (Thyroptera tricolor)
These bats are unique for more than just the suction cups on their wings that they use to roost in rolled up leaves. Unlike most other bat species they roost upside up. That's right, in the photo above, the bats are looking up at you.
