A pair of scarlet macaw sit perched in a tree in Laguna del Tigre National Park, northern Guatemala, in this May 30, 2003 file photo. Scarlet macaws threatened by illegal poachers and land invaders who slash and burn their jungle habitat in Guatemala now have scientists watching out for them from space. Researchers recently fit two of the red, yellow and blue-plumed parrots with satellite collars that send to computers information about their movements through the thick canopy of trees in northern Guatemala and southern Mexico.
