Field Notes

Notes:

These wild (or feral) parakeets were perched in a tree in our backyard. They often come in large flocks for short visits but some stay and hang out in our tree for a while. I usually see three together each time they are in our oak tree. Two of them will snuggle together while the other stays on a branch nearby. This time they were all together.

I wonder if these are relatives of those who escaped from Ringling in Sarasota?

:) Yes, it does look like a wig. It's actually spanish moss.
