Flamingo

About 100 flamingos were counted during the first statewide survey completed since Hurricane Idalia. Two were spotted in the Tampa Bay area.

May is the beginning of flamingo nesting season, and researchers are crossing their fingers that the large, apparently healthy population could start popping out fledglings on Florida soil for the first time in a century.

The state's first ever flamingo census takes flight for a week, beginning Sunday.

Peaches the flamingo was found in deep water off Florida’s Gulf Coast. Now a pair of researchers is tracking the bright-pink bird to see if wild, breeding populations may return to Florida for the first time since they went locally extinct in the early 1900s.

Flamingos have been found as far north as Pennsylvania after Hurricane Idalia struck Florida last week. But the birds were likely blown in all the way from the Yucatan Peninsula.
