Parrot nest

March 2nd, 2012



Yes, there are wild parrots in Brooklyn! They're monk parakeets, a.k.a. Quaker parrots, and they've established several strongholds throughout the region, one of which is here at the park known, for reasons of political expediency, as Quaker Parrot Park at the Dust Bowl, which sounds an awful lot like Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Brooklyn Army Terminal

This former Army facility, since redeveloped for commercial and light industrial use, was supposedly the nation's largest military supply base during World War II.
