Red-crowned Parrot
On our last day in California we were staying in San Diego and took a walk along a canal by our hotel. I didn’t even bother to bring my camera. As we walked around we heard a loud squawking and looked up to see two Red-crowned Parrots. These parrots are not endemic to California or the U.S. for that matter but evidently some imported parrots now live in the San Diego and Houston, TX area. I ran (walked quickly) back to our room and grabbed my camera. Of course they weren’t there by the time I returned. Luckily they soon noisily came back and took up the same perch as before atop a tall palm tree.
