I'm sure the following question is quite amaturish, but here goes anyway. Today, I counted 53 Parakeets perched on some balconies at an apartment complex near Dadeland, Miami, Fl. I have never seen so many together in one location! When I looked at the the listings to post my sighting on ebird, it shows a selection for Mitred or Mitred/Red-masked Parakeets. To me, the birds in my photos all look the same, and I thought I should select Mitred Parakeets. Perhaps one of you fine folks could confirm that for me. I'm still learning and thank you for your help. Sorry the photos are not very good. I was quite a distance away and it was very cloudy, having just rained.
