    Hi EBBers,
    
    After I made my original posting for Red-masked Parakeet at the Berkeley
    Marina last weekend I was contacted privately via email regarding the
    sighting.  Kay Loughman (thanks, Kay) in particular alerted me to the
    presence of Mitred Parakeets in nearby Berkeley.   Fortunately I had a
    photograph of the bird I'd seen and it was, indeed, a Mitred Parakeet, not a
    Red-masked Parakeet.  I notified Kay and two others of my mistake, but did
    not do so to EBB before leaving town for four days, returning last night.
    My apologies.
    
    Good birding,
    Bob Battagin
