Mike, Tweets --

I remember seeing Monk Parakeets in Carkeek Park and up north near
Golden Gardens, and at Discovery Park, in approx 1979 &/or 1980. I believe
a number of these sightings were written up in either AB or SAS Newsletter
of that era.

(Hi tweets. For the past two months, I've watched with interest when a
small flock of parakeets made it up to my yard in the Seward Park area.
After conversing with Fred Bird and digging around a little bit I was even
more intrigued. Fred and I are going to prepare a summary of the status
of feral psittacines in the greater Seattle area, to submit to WA Birds or
Northwestern Naturalist. **If you have any information about feral
psittacines in Washington, we would be grateful to hear about it.** This
