The Manhattan parakeets: a follow-up

A beautifully clear view of the newly discovered Monk Parakeet nest on Amsterdam Avenue and 103rd St. It was discovered by Rebekah Creshkoff last week.

News traveled fast. Today I received an e-mail from Steve Baldwin who runs a fascinating website about Monk Parakeets. He's a Brooklyn resident, and just a little defensive about us Manhattanites. But his pictures are fabulous, and his devotion to the species [as you'll see if you check out his website] is admirable and inspiring.

Here's a link to his follow-up of my story:
