Following Hurricane Idalia, people have been shocked to discover flamingos, which typically live south of the U.S., in unusual states.
Earlier this month, photographer Jeff Lewis was in an observation tower scanning the Outer Banks in North Carolina. He had heard rumors that flamingos were discovered in other states, and he wanted to look for himself. After a few hours, he saw a pink blur near the shore.When the view came into focus, Lewis saw a group of flamingos flying toward him. The 67-year-old, who had never seen a wild flamingo, almost fell over in shock.
“To my knowledge, which goes back like 50 years, never anything as spectacular as this [has occurred],” Duncan told The Washington Post. “This is jaw-dropping how many flamingos have been seen.” Fugett said he sat on the beach about 300 feet from the flamingos, taking pictures and videos with his phone for about 30 minutes. He posted the pictures on Facebook around the same time flamingos wereThe next day, Annie Owen was working for Coastal Expeditions, a nature tour group in South Carolina, riding a ferry to Bulls Island from the town of Awendaw. When she arrived, Owen hiked a trail
On Sept. 2, Lewis heard about flamingo sightings elsewhere and went to Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge in Rodanthe, N.C., in search of them. About 2 1/2 hours later, he saw 11 flamingos — three adults and eight children — through the observation tower.
