Where are the Monk Parakeets? If you’ve seen them or their nest please let us know.

Monks in a tree that they clip branches from to build their nests.

One twig at a time.

The nests were in a tree in the field between the parking lot beyond the CowBarn and the Restrooms. Where are the nests?

This was the larger of the two nests. While I was there last Fall a(n) Hawk was stalking the Parakeets. The Monks made a lot of noise at that time.

Two Monk Parakeets. The Monk on the lower left is about to enter the nest at the bottom. The entrance to the nest is well concealed and probably difficult for Hawks to get to. There is a myth (or reality) that the Parakeets escaped from a truck accident on i95 during transportation to a bird store. They have also nested at Scalzi Park, Stamford in a light tower on the baseball field.
