Red-crowned Parrot emerging from nest cavity San Benito, Cameron Co., Texas 27 April 1995 image scanned from 35 mm slide This bird has a big tuff of white down feathers stuck to its upper bill, making it seem as if it has a white forehead. It does not. With the white sky in the background this is difficult to make out on this 20 year old scanned slide. White-fronted Parrot, which might be suggested by a white forehead, do not occur in Texas and they have a large red patch surrounding the eye and are a smaller bird. Red-crowned Parrots have nested in this area since the late 1980s. This nest cavity was in a friend's yard and later fledged young.

Was down in the Lower Rio Grande Valley for a staff meeting with the other urban wildlife biologists. Had such a great time -- temps in the 80's! This day was the field-trip day, and Tony chose some awesome places to explore. An awesome ending to the day was seeing the parrots roost at this park in Brownsville. Saw a few other things beforehand, but the icing on the cake was these four species of parrots coming in. Way cool.
