I didn't realize until today...

...that there are parrots (Monk Parakeets, to be exact), living in Bridgeport, year-round! (As well as in a number of Long Island Sound shore towns up the CT coast.) Amazing! Raucous, green and yellow, they construct large stick nests (the ones I saw - 3 nests! - were in a large pine tree). A bit of 'net research revealed that their origin story is that the ancestors of the present lot escaped a crate at JFK airport some years back, naturalized, and have been here ever since...
