I was down at the Cove Point Lighthuse today, fantasizing about rarities, when I heard some harsh calls and looked up to see some small parrots (3) on the cottage roof. They screamed and carried on around me for about an hour while I swore at my idiocy in NOT bringing my camera.
They looked to be some species of Agapornis -- lovebirds-- with pinkish faces and at least partial eye rings. I assume they are escapees, but I will be checkng for them again. WITH camera.
