Monk Parakeet

Hello,

I am sharing another Florida lifer, the Monk Parakeet. I planned a  daytrip to see the Burrowing Owls and I happened to see the Monk Parakeet in the same spot along with a Loggerhead Shrike.


The Monk Parakeet is a bright green parrot with a grayish face and breast.


They are native to South America. They have established colonies in the USA.


I watch numerous Monk Parakeets going back and forth to this light pole. They were working on a nest.

Thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.
