Trail cam triggered late and only captured the rear end of the animal. However, it's unmistakable, nothing else in the florida woods has a tail like that.

Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus)Observer
cyricDescription
A couple of Monk Parakeets in Warwick, RI. I saw three, then a kestrel (I think) flew by and they all scattered along with a couple others that must have been hiding in the nest. There have been feral populations of these parakeets in RI since at least the seventies.

Was kayak fishing and paddled past it and didn't know what it was so I loaded the kayak on my car and went back and took a picture. Posted picture on FB Maine wildlife page and that's and someone suggested I post the sighting on here
