Here's a bit of information about the Monk Parakeet and the Cackling Goose.

One Monk Parakeet was heard during the day in the area of a feeder it has been frequenting for over a year. About 1/2 hour before sunset, it was heard and seen flying in the area of the known nest site (on the NE leg of a cel tower in the right-of-way on Mt. Pleasant Drive near its intersection with Muirkirk Road in Laurel. Muirkirk Road connects Rte 197 in Laurel with Rte 1 in Beltsville.)

The Cackling Goose was seen flying from SW to NE at the rear of a large flock of Canada Geese (about 250) over the industrial park off of Old Baltimore Pike along Ammendale Road in Beltsville.
