Folks,

   The Monk Parakeet that Rick Blom saw in Havre de Grace on Friday
(but not yesterday), was there again today.  I saw it at about 11:15 AM
along the north side of Lafayette Street, between Pink Lane and Market
Street.  Sorry, I am DeLorme-less, but for those with the Harford ADC
atlas, it's Map 21, top of Block D8.  The parakeet was quite active,
moving between several trees and even perching atop a stake in a
backyard vegetable garden for a moment.  It was not very vocal, but
certainly loud when it did call.

   I spoke with one of the nearby residents, who happens to have a few
caged Budgies(?) in his backyard.  He said the Monk Parakeet has been in
the neighborhood for about a month and is quite tame, often accepting
handouts from just a few feet away.

   Unfortunately, no Eurasian Collared-Dove sighting.

   Good birding!
