Frank,
That's a nice photo. I was in Kralendijk, Bonaire two weeks ago and saw a pair near the Muffler King. Got a couple of good photos.
Took me a while to figure out what bird I had, since my trip report references called it the Caribbean Parakeet.......
I was really happy to see it - but not as pleased as I was to find the St Vincent Parrot a week later. Had an hours hard climb to the top of a mountain (Vermont Forest Trail) to get that one ! ! ! !
