Re: [nysbirds-l] Monk parakeets - easily seen at Seamen's Neck Park, Seaford, NY (Nassau County)

[Jonathan Green]

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.

[nysbirds-l] Monk parakeets - easily seen at Seamen's Neck Park, Seaford, NY (Nassau County)

[Nancy Tognan]

Hello!  I didn't t think that monk parakeets were that interesting to anyone
besides myself.  There is a great place to view them:  Seamen's Neck Park in
Seaford, NY (Nassau County).  There is a ball field with light platforms,
and each platform has a big communal roost made of sticks.  They have also
built roosts in low trees, so they are easily visible.  I was there
yesterday, and there is a lot of activity and squawking - fish crows are
bothering the light platform roosts.  The location is about a 15-minute
drive from Jones Beach.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Monk Parakeets in the Bronx

[Hugh McGuinness]

HI Michael & NY Birders,

There have been a few reports from that area in 2014, but it would be great
if you e-birded it, as there are only 11 e-bird reports for Monk Parakeet
in the Bronx this year, and I don't think any are recent.
