While out shopping we stopped by for a short visit to the Monk Parakeet colony at Trinity School on Church St. in New Rochelle. There are nests in all the light fictures but only had birds in three of them with a total of about 4 visible. Also had an American Kestrel and an Osprey on top of the nests. I see the kestrel there regularly so must nest nearby and the osprey was on it's nest on top of the parakeets. While by my car after viewing them four came down close and low in the trees to say good by to us. Of course no camera:-) Andrew & Nobue Andrew BlockConsulting Naturalist Yonkers, New York www.flickr.com/photos/conuropsis/albums --
