Orange-winged Parrots and Macaws

1

Hello Everybody,

I will be visiting from the Gulf Coast of Florida sometime in March or April and would like to see the Orange-winged Parrot, Chestnut-fronted Macaw, and Blue-and-yellow Macaw in the South Miami area. What are the best places between the times of 11am-3pm to find these birds?

Any help would be appreciated.

Best.

Matthew

All of those birds are possible at Brewer Park, also known as the Miller Drive parrot roost. The middle of the day is a difficult time to find parrots, so you may have to search for them in surrounding neighborhoods by driving with your windows down and listening for their vocalizations.

Iā€™m going to be passing through the area in a couple weeks and am very interested in many of the exotic species that seem to be at this roost. What are the best times to see the birds there?

Just after sunrise or just before sunset are the best times to visit.
