This congregation of Monk Parakeets was photographed next to the Katy Trail just south of Knox Street in Dallas, Texas.

Look at duncanvilles.new phone books!there always flying around kidsville.
We saw them today at this location. We noticed them due to their noise. Quite vocal.
There is a colony of about 10 with nests at a power substation at the end of Armstrong St. as it dead ends into the Katy Trail. I noticed there is a storm drain here with a steady stream that runs under the Katy Trail. Lots of squirrels, a crow, and other birds nests at this location.
