Since the introduction of the two new BirdCam models, the Wingscapes BirdCam Life List has been growing by leaps and bounds. The latest addition is this remarkable photo of a Monk Parakeet uploaded to the BirdCam Photo Gallery by Rick in Tamarac, Florida.
Although not native to the United States, these colorful and raucous birds have become well established in locations all along the Atlantic coast as well as in southwest Washington state. Originally brought to the United States from their native South America as pets in the 1960s, many escaped or were released and have now established large self-sustaining local colonies.
