>Mention parrots and I'm prompted to respond. We've been seeing two, four,
sometimes eight in the trees around our house. We've seen as many as six at
the feeder by our kitchen window. I've also heard them on the walk around
Seward park, and I've seen the eagles there. On the east side, near the
fish hatchery, there used to be a eagle nest--but I suppose everyone has
seen it over the years. It's great, isn't it, to see birds one associates
with the tropics and Bald Eagles in the same area.
