Subject: [ia-bird] DSM Monk Parakeets?
So over past couple weeks I thought I had been losing my mind in seeing
flashes of monk parakeets near where I live. I usually see a bird and
registers as a species and don’t think about it being out of ordinary most
of time.

Today I saw a maybe eight Monk parakeets near Euclid and 7th Street
harassing a Cooper’s Hawk in a tree. I just watched them and didn’t pull
out phone to try to take a picture because why are there Monk
parakeets in Iowa? Am I seeing this right?

I searched online and there are records from 2020. Anyone have anything
regarding monk parakeets?

Thanks!
