You are quite correct about the White-fronted but all the rest except for the Red Masked # 25 were taken yesterday. The White fronted and the Red Masked photos were taken last year.
It was quite an experience trying to sort through the parakeets in the trees in Miami Springs. Paul had several books with him specifically for the identification of Psittacids which was very helpful.
There are photos of White-eyed and Crimson Fronted in the mix. I do recall us having to wait to see some in flight to get under-wing detail to confirm IDs on some of the subjects. It was a lot of fun and would like to spend another day looking for and photographing Psittacids but next time with emphasis on capturing key identifiers.
Good luck to those who are as bold as to attempt to ID these birds. So far Bill seems to have done well labeling those possible and expressing the difficulty involved in doing so.
