Dear Birders,
I located the parakeets in Las Palmas Park a little after 5:00 p.m. 
and was able, I think, to get most of them in my scope.  I counted 
20-25.  All but one appeared to be Mitreds.  These were apparently 
both adult and first year birds.  The latter had very little red on 
the face or body, but showed at least some red feathering.  One was 
unusual in that it had a light brown eye ring (about the color of the 
bill) rather than white.  One had no breast feathers.
One bird was a Blue-crowned Parakeet.  It showed no red at all.  The 
crown was blue, and I was able to see some reddish (which could have 
been orange - there wasn't much of it and I didn't get the greatest 
look) under the tail.  I didn't notice if there was blue on the 
primaries.
Some crows harassed the birds relentlessly for about half an hour. 
Otherwise, it was a great visit!
Good birding,
Emily Serkin
Hayward
