Parrots
We are lucky in San Diego to have flocks of wild parrots, including Red-Crowned Amazons (Endangered) and Lilac-Crowned Amazons (Vulnerable). These birds are beautiful, clever, expressive, and quite vocal. The latter trait has made them a target of irritated residents, with several reported killed in 2016. All of these images were made in Point Loma in 2015-2017.
