I saw a cockatiel sitting on the rocks by the shore. It was nearest the “Egret” picnic area, which is close to the Observation Tower. I was walking my dog and spotted the cockatiel. I stopped on the path to look at the bird and it did not fly away. I tied up my dog and then went back to the bird. As I approached it it flew away.
Several minutes later it circled overhead and vocalized. Someone told me that others have seen a cockatiel at the same park at the beginning of June. I don’t know much about cockatiels. I did notice that the body color was marbled / streaky, possible a pied type.
