Flamingo Beach in Sun Dog
"Hurricane Idalia is being credited with delivering a flamingo-palooza to the Eastern United States this week.
The iconic, pink plumaged birds first started showing up all over Florida, on both coasts and the northern Gulf Coast as Hurricane Idalia passed. By Saturday however, three days after landfall, flamingo sightings had been reported in Alabama, South and North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.” - USA Today, September 3, 2023
