We were surprised to see a Monk Parakeet in our backyard yesterday.  It 
stayed about an hour, most of the time resting comfortably in the 
trees.  It did not appear disturbed by other backyard birds or by me 
taking pictures from the bathroom window.

This link - http://boltassociates.com/MonkParakeet/ - shows three pics 
of the bird.
