The Glaucous Macaw is a critically endangered or possibly extinct large blue and grey macaw species, historically found in South America. It was similar in appearance to the Hyacinth Macaw but smaller and paler.
Where to spot
Historically, it inhabited gallery forests along major rivers in parts of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. No reliable current observation sites exist.
How to spot
Observation is highly unlikely due to its critically endangered or extinct status. Any potential sighting would require immediate verification by ornithological authorities.
When to spot
