[TN-Bird] Florida parakeet now ABA-countable

The American Birding Association=92s Checklist Committee has recently decided 
that the Yellow-chevroned Parakeet (Brotogeris chiriri) has become an 
established species in the US. This means that those birders who keep their 
lists based on ABA criteria can count this parrot if they have seen it.
It is most likely to be found in south Florida.
Until a few years ago, this bird and the White-winged Parakeet (Brotogeris 
versicolurus - already ABA-countable) were considered a single species, the 
Canary-winged Parakeet.
