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 several light towers. The parakeets have a huge nest up there and I've seen up to five at a time flying in and out. An Osprey is their next door neighbor with another nest in the summer. Also happens to be a great spot for Yellow-Crowned Night Heron in the summer.
