Hi Susan,

Black-hoodeds are fairly widespread in eastern Broward County but their abundance varies considerable. A co-author and I published a paper on Broward County's psittacids a couple years ago, and here are the numbers by city:

Largest counts are 87 at Pompano Beach 14 November 2000, 30 at Coconut Creek 6 September 2001, 8 at Davie 6 September 2001, 9 at Fort Lauderdale (various sites), 1 at Hollywood 7 January 2001, 2 at Oakland Park 13 July 2002, 6 at Pembroke Pines 10 January 2000, and 29 at Wilton Manors 5 February 2002.

By far the largest numbers of Black-hoodeds in Florida are found along the central Gulf coast -- 500 birds were reported on the St. Petersburg Christmas Bird Count in December 2003.

Best regards,

Bill Pranty
