    Two reports about 2 species at the Berkeley Marina Friday. My guess this was the same bird.
    
    Yesterday (Friday) there was a Red-masked Parakeet (aka Red-headed Conure, Cherry Conure, etc.) at the Berkeley Marina.  It was in the pines/eucalyptus/willows just north of and across the street from the Sea Breeze Market and Deli at the corner of University Ave. and the I-80 Frontage Road.

    On Friday, 1/8/10 at around 10:45am I saw a fairly large green parrot (later ID?d as an adult Mitred Parakeet, using my Sibley Field Guide) flying among some Mourning Doves in the fenced off Eastshore Park meadow project (phase 2, eastern section) east of the Berkeley Marina.  I first heard it in the low brush near the fence along University Avenue, across from the Sea Breeze deli/grocery store at the corner of University Ave. and the frontage road just west of Hwy 880.
