Hundreds of Red-Crowned Parrots fly over our neighborhood in the mornings and evenings.

These birds are endangered in their natiive northeastern Mexico,

Fifty of these birds could be in a tree and you wouldn't see any of them. This one was in the open.
Their wings are very colorful when extended.
