Dell, Tom:
From time to time Green Parakeets wander as far north as San Antonio.
Although anecdotal evidence suggests that Monk Parakeets are seen in most,
if not all, of the large cities in Texas, a minute ago when I searched for
Monk Parakeet on eBird, I didn't see any purple rectangles in Texas. That
contradicts the Monk Parakeets that I have seen in Austin and San Antonio.
Hopefully one or more of our eBird editors will enlighten us.
Later!

Tom,
There are several populations of Monk Parakeets Myiopsitta monachus
(green in color) established in Dallas and Tarrant counties. To be honest
I'm not sure exactly where all the populations currently are. Historically
northwest of White Rock Lake damn or the Fish Hatchery is one location. Near
you in Grand Prairie, there is a small population at Kennedy Middle School
Football Stadium at Acosta and 303. Also in Arlington at the Sherry St. Sub
Station just north of 303 is a another small group. I don't know wether
"significant" is appropriate. If their sighting was put into eBird, that
wouldn't hurt. Green Parakeets Psittacara holochlora have native populations
in the Rio Grande Valley but no populations away from there (to my
knowledge)

noted a group of 10-12 in North Dallas over the weekend. If this is
significant, I can get lat/lon for Google as well as date and time of the
sighting. Just let me know.
