I stopped by Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn this week to visit the locally famous parakeets.
This group flew over and landed by me, sat and squawked for a while, and then flew deeper into the cemetery.
Monk parakeets have been around Brooklyn for about forty years; the colony at Green-Wood is one of the largest in the city.
