Mystery Bird in West Brattleboro

Hollie stopped by last evening to tell of a bird that she and Paul found sitting in some bushes along Abbott Road at the Gateway Farm. It looked like a parakeet but was a little larger with a long tail, and all white except for some bluish smudges down the back and on the under tail coverts. We investigated this morning (6/27), found the bird still perched high on a branch of a sapling on the north side of the road. The blue coloration seems to possibly be food coloring that someone has applied as an identification marking. Is anyone missing a pet parakeet of that description?

 

 

 

West River Birds (6/25)

There was a Great Egret fishing the shallows of the West River behind the Marina Restaurant this morning. Six Spotted Sandpipers were also observed.
