rarity in my area. Wish it wasn't:-)

Found a Monk Parakeet nest with atleast 3 birds in the vicinity. As far as I
know this is the only nest away from the ones in Larchmont/New Rochelle area in
Westchester. The location is near the intersection of Sumner and Onandaga Aves.

Another very good location for them, North Woodmere Park in North Woodmere
(Nassau). If you turn in and park in the far Northwest corner of the
parking lot, then continue walking north with the water on your left side
until you reach the *last* baseball field before the marsh, there are

Hello! I didn't t think that monk parakeets were that interesting to anyone
besides myself. There is a great place to view them: Seamen's Neck Park in
Seaford, NY (Nassau County). There is a ball field with light platforms,

I apologize, if this is already well-known. I had a few stops in Yonkers
and the Bronx today...at 3:36PM, three Monk Parakeets zoomed over the Cross
Bronx Expressway, near Exit 4B (Rosedale Ave.). Makes sense with the NJ

Church Street)?in New Rochelle today. A pair of Ospreys are building a nest on
top of one of the light poles with parakeet nests. In the estuary?across the
street was a Greater Yellowlegs and a Great Egret.

A friend, who will be visiting from Alaska and who is not a
subscriber to this list, asked me to inquire if anyone knows of any
reliable locations for Monk Parakeet in Westchester County.
Thanks.
