RE: [SBB] South Bay Parrots

["Mike Feighner" <[[email protected]]>]

South Bay (Santa Clara County) Birds:

I have independently discovered another reliable small flock of about 12
Mitered Parakeets (mentioned below) in Sunnyvale on several un-dated
afternoon visits up to about a month ago in the trees around the apartments
opposite the south side of Orchard Supply Hardware on Mathilda Avenue south
of El Camino Real.
