A young Flamingo got blown off course during hurricane Idalia and ended up at Fort DeSoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. This was the first Flamingo that ever arrived at the park. I guess I wasn't the only one who discovered it.

It certainly doesn't look too bothered by the large audience, Jake! but the poor thing must be somewhat bewildered.
