Blue-crowned & Red-masked Parakeets

Anna Maria Island, Florida

I might regret putting this forth, but these two were a pair - 'loving-up' to each other. Blue-crowned on left; Red-masked on right.
Observed lots of Blue-crowned; smaller numbers of Red-masked Parakeets. Took several images on the northern-most area of Anna Maria Island.
Note: The Blue-crowned has orange feet; the Red-masked has black feet.
Best viewed in 'original' size.
