Went to visit the Monk Parakeets living in Yonkers today.  There were about 7 
birds around.  The main nest on the transformer looks abandoned, but they are 
building two new nests, one in a tree and one on a telephone pole with no 
transformer.  I guess the incident with some Mexicans trying to capture them 
this winter caused them to leave their original nest.  In a way it was a good 
thing because now they won't be bothered by Con Ed since they aren't on a 
transformer now. Hopefully they will keep building and expanding their nests 
and colony.  They're lucky to have protectors nearby.
