Thank you kindly Mike.
I inquired at the Audubon center.
That Parakeet appears to be an adult morph.

A morph, or color phase, happens when birds of the same species regularly develop more than one plumage color.
The morph plumage can be any color.

Thank you Paul...very interesting. This Nanday parakeet in flight is one heck of a nice shot! Definitely not an easy capture!

Gorgeous, Dave! Their bright yellow color always amazes me.

What an appealing shot of the Brandt's Cormorant, Ken. It is such a 3D looking capture. His eye is such a deep blue looking color. It captures my attention immediately. Love it.

Thank you both. I had a couple of other shots with more interesting head positions, but this one showed that sapphire eye the best.

He is a very intelligent bird.
