Apologies for this odd post, but my wife and I were waiting at a traffic light on Rt 11 near the Lowes on the north side Winchester when three very noisy Macaws flew by. I'm afraid I was not able to identify them to species. My wife said they had a lot of blue on their back, but I wasn't able to see any color on the birds - just the bill shape and extremely long tails. We pulled off the road, and the three macaws flew by again (now heading toward I-81), but by the time I got my binoculars out of the car, they were long gone.

I hope their owners manage to find these birds.  Quite a sight, though.
