Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus)

I finally saw these at a local nesting colony nearby in Central New Jersey. This was my third attempt looking for them and I was greeted by 6 around the nest. They sure are interesting and seemingly intelligent birds , not to mention beautiful ! I observed them for a while and a few were working on the nest and fetching materials.
