I took my last gamble of the trip, and left the St. Cloud area at 3:00 PM, to try and get back through St. Petersburg in time to get to the Marina that is a reliable spot for Black-hooded Parakeets.

Everything worked fine, I didn't get hung up in any seriously bad traffic, and didn't even make it down to the Marina when I got my 1st Black-hooded Parakeet. There were several in a yard on the way to the Marina.

Once I got to the Marina, there was a house with a feeder that had about 30 of these beauties hanging around.
