Yesterday while banding at Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve, we had
an unusual experience. About 10:00 AM, a small group (3-5) of small parrots
came flying in over the parking lot chattering away like crazy. We thought
we were in the tropics for a second. No idea on the species or where they
came from. Obviously they were escapes from some where. They were not Monk
Parakeets which have been observed in the area before.These were a smaller
green parrot. It happened so fast we didn't see much color or shape.
Keep your eyes and ears open. Any explanations?
