Red-crowned Parakeet (Cyanoramphus saisseti)
Date: 31 May 2008
Location: Parc Provincial de la Rivière Bleue (humid forest) (Southern Province, New Caledonia)
Number observed: 1
Notes:
I noticed a vaguely bird-like projection from a snag and casually lifted binocs to see this parakeet. Backlit, but all all green with small red patch on forehead. Face (area around bill) green. Bill dark, not red or orange. Looked small-headed. After a couple of moments, it dropped silently into the trees, where I could no longer see it.
