Scarlet Macaws Silhouetted at Havana Dawn

Pale morning light washes over a clay lick beside a tidal inlet near Centro Habana. Two scarlet macaws stand as dark silhouettes against the bright, misty sky. Their long tails and curved beaks trace sharp lines against the glowing haze. Wet clay reflects the soft glow, while the humid air of the wet season hangs low over the water. The birds rest on the muddy surface, their forms blending into the shadow. A thin layer of mist settles on the water's edge, blurring the line between the clay and the inlet. The scene holds the stillness of early light before the day fully breaks.
