I had what I believe was a Mitred Parakeet flying north along the Croton Aqueduct parallel to Hancock Ave. last weekend. I didn't get a look at it but have heard them before and using sources on the net matched the calls to that species. I've seen the NYC flock once in the Bronx at NYBG so maybe this was one or more of those making rounds? I will keep an eye out for it in case it's living in the area. Andrew Andrew v. F.
