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?
