Finally - I've been hearing and occasionally seeing Monk Parakeets in my
backyard in Massapequa, favoring the tall oaks in the area, and occasionally
hearing them on route 107. I just found a nest on route 107 in Massapequa, on a
telephone pole. Route 107 is exit 29 from the Southern State Parkway: go right
or south at the light if you're driving east, and after about 1/2 a mile there
will be a small shopping center on the right, with an ad for Enzo's pork deli.
The nest is near the southern end of the shopping center, just before the gas
station, roughly opposite the bagel shop - good bagels while you wait
