Conservation HARLINGEN — Joanne Blake didn’t know there were wild parrots in the United States.

"I thought you had to go to South America to have parrots," she said.

Minutes later, a red lored parrot fluttered over the city lake here.

"It’s thrilling," said Blake, a retired substance abuse therapist from Montana. "It’s a tourist attraction for the area."

Late Thursday afternoon, about 50 birders attending the Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival toured Harlingen and San Benito in search of parrots that make up an expanding population.
