Scouting around Brownsville, Texas in our RV towed we were in search of red-crowned parrots. I had read there was a colony roosting at the University of Texas at Brownsville campus. We were hanging out at the Old Fort student housing watching Whistling Ducks perform their antics while Muscovy Ducks occasionally waddled by.
As the sun began to set a flash of green caught our attention as a flight of and green parakeets circled and landed in a nearby tree.
Next we saw a red-crowned parrot land on a stump in front of the car.
As we were admiring this view a head poked up out of the palm tree stump and this is what we saw.
I just love this picture of a nesting parrot and I was lucky to get it because it only emerged for a few seconds and we didn't see it again. We were delighted to see both the red-crowned parrots and the green parakeets in the same area. RVing is a great way to see the country and do some serious birding at the same time.
The same is true for those of you who enjoy butterfly and moth watching. In fact, many hobbies are enhanced through the use of RVs because they provide a cost effective way to combine travel, lodging and meals. RVers can cover vast areas or focus on one specific area all the wile living comfortably in the shelter of their RV. Always looking up - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVing
