Several colonies of monk parakeets have lived on the South Side of Chicago for
more than 30 years. I think Ira Sanders would back me up in agreeing that

These Monk Parakeets lived near our backyard in Colorado Springs--huge nest
on telephone pole in a nearby alley way. We saw at most seven of them.
They did breed in that nest. We got local media involved to prevent their
capture ... :-( ... they use to come to our feeders daily and were

Hi COBirders,
I just had a visit by the first Black-chinned Hummingbird in the yard this
summer (a female). She joins the crowd of other visitors, and makes four
species in the yard right now, with numerous Rufous, and a few Calliope, and

On our way back down from our hike, again along the north side of Long
