I was fortunate enough to spot the individual in this post at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge where it was foraging in bushes and small trees between four and fifteen off of the ground. It breeds across Canada’s boreal forest and most winter in the Caribbean, though some spend the cold months in Central America.

One article states that by the end of the 1960′s, over 16,000 Monk Parakeets a year were being imported into the U.S.**. The question is why these natives of rural areas in southern South America (east of the Andes) have been so spectacularly successful in establishing their colonies. Again, not very fussy! and Sam Logue.

The first, Field Guide to the Birds of Trinidad & Tobago, was published by Christopher Helm in London in 2007 and then published in the United States in 2008 by Yale University Press. For some reason, Yale University Press discontinued its arrangement with Helms, so there is no United States edition.

I had heard about this book before my trip, but it had not been published in the United States or Europe yet. The other two artists are Peter Marsack and Kim Franklin, both of whom also contributed to the HANZAB and other notable wildlife projects.
