While driving to the inlaw's house (yecch!) this Christmas, I spied two rather long tailed birds in a tree near a cornfield along a major highway (208 in Fairlawn NJ). Upon closer inspection (which consisted of cutting across 2 lanes of traffic, making an illegal U-turn, and parking on an on-ramp to the highway), they turned out to be a pair of Black-headed Nanday. A ploy by the parrot owners perhaps :-) ?
