This is a critically endangered bird and one of the most endangered in the world and I really wanted to see it. It took two days to find it. They are declining rapidly because they are being caught and sold for the illegal bird trade where they get as much as 1000$ USD per bird. It is very sad. They are only found in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil and are endangered in all 3 countries. There are less than 2000 left in the wild.

Uno de los 400 disparos que me permitió esta pareja de Cardenales Amarillos en un rincón del interior profundo de la provincia de Corrientes, Argentina. Otra vez, me siento muy privilegiado.
One of the 400 shots that this pair of Yellow Cardinals allowed me in a corner of the deep interior of the province of Corrientes, Argentina. Once again, I feel very privileged.
