This is the first year of seeing the wild parrots, Aug 2009.
This was taken about 8am, Aug. 2009, Sunday morning. This was just a handful of the parrots I seen that morning. There were many more up in the trees. I was told they came to the park around 8am in the mornings, down by the mesquite trees, so I made it a point to be down there about that time and I met up with a lady that walks her dogs every day in the park and we both walked down to the other end of the park and we counted about 40 to 50 parrots...in several trees and flying. We stood there a while, looking in amazement at all these parrots. I never imagined I'd ever see so many parrots at one time, especially in the wild! They decided I took enough pictures of them and a lot of them flew off and landed on the sidewalk in the park. I then walked over there and took some pictures of them...there was probably about 25 parrots down on the ground in the park. I've never seen that many at one time in the park again. But every year when the mesquite trees put on the seed pods you can still see them in the trees and hear them flying overhead going to and from the park.
