New: The Wild Parrot Map of Brooklyn!

(Update 2/2006: I have disabled this map because I do not want to enable any wild parrot poaching. Read more about this here.)

I've been playing with the Google Maps API this week; it's a wonderful program that lets Web site users easily add custom maps to their sites. Of course, my first effort is an attempt to map all the wild parrot colonies in Brooklyn. Click here to view the map! You can move the map by dragging it, use the zoom buttons, select satellite or street mode, and otherwise have fun with it. I hope to be steadily adding features and info to this map in the next few months. I might even wind up adding a GPS unit to my wild parrot field kit.

Oh, if you've seen a wild parrot nest, have a photo of one you'd like to share with me, or have a wild parrot report, please send me e-mail - I'll add your siting to the Wild Parrot Map of Brookly.! Soon to come: Wild Parrot Maps of New Jersey and possibly Connecticut!
