I couldn’t see them at first but could hear them screaming from across the lake. As I got closer I could see movement in the trees and in the grass below. You can usually find wild monk parakeets at Crescent Lake park near downtown St. Petersburg if you listen for them. They are really loud. I sat under the tree for a few minutes and watched them. They were eating bugs in the grass and flirting in the trees. This was in late June so they must have still been nesting. They nest high up in the water tower near the lake.
Apart from the noise they make, you could is them.
Hi Y’all!
Hi Y’all!
It’s like God created them out of the leaves of the trees.
Y’all come on by,

I hear the parakeets all the time but seeing them is very difficult. You did well to get so many photos of them.
Great photos of the parrots – green amongst green would be hard to see. We don’t ;have that kind of parrot out here in Australia where I live but all parrots are heard before they are seen!
They look so happy 😀
How very wonderful! There are some in Cape Coral and I’ve seen them a couple of times, but never able to get a picture.
They are adorable.
I always have liked parrots.
Have a Great Week!!
Peace 🙂
Such gorgeous creatures. You got great shots!
Aren’t they beautiful? These photos are almost dizzying green!

Beautiful birds. The second photo is my favorite.
You did such a wonderful job of capturing the uniqueness of these amazing creatures…I find them so hard to photograph.
Awww…so cute! And so much personality!
Now that’s some beautiful camouflage! You got some great photos of these gorgeous birds!
These are so adorable! I have the same problem trying to spot the ones that take the beach palm trees during sunset. You can hear their loud chatter but it is not that easy to see them.
