I heard yesterday from an acquaintance that somebody up around Northgate in
Seattle insists there are migrating "parrots" passing their location every
year. A length of about fifteen inches was the approximate size indicated
(you know, like fishermen show you "the one that got away"). Has a fellow
Tweeter any corroboration of this phenomenon or a suggestion for what
species these "parrots" are being mistaken ?
