A Flamingo has showed up at our birding center in a marsh

On this barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, we normally get three migrating whooping cranes who have branched out from the National Wildlife Refuge. We also host roseate spoonbills year round, but this lone flamingo is very weird. The only one I’ve heard about in my 54 years here.

I finally added the linked photos from IBB.

in the oddest places. Our house in a subdivision backs up to a ditch and green belt, and several times over the last few years I have seen small groups of them flying over the ditch.
