I'd like to thank Bob Friedrichs and his uncle Jay. Their hospitality and
generosity have been outstanding! It's a true privilege to have such folks
among the Texas birding community.
I enjoyed meeting Mike Dupree and his youngest son. I hope I am still enjoying
the birds after such a distinguished span of years:-)
I took hundreds of photos of the Flamingo pair, and look forward to more fully
researching the story behind these two. I think there is a lot of romance in
their tale. Are there any facts or educated guesses as to where/how these two
birds first encountered each other?
The Greater Flamingo is certainly a well traveled bird! From Tanzania to South
Africa, then Wichita and Kansas City before escaping and being spotted in
Wisconsin, Louisiana, and Texas; incredible!
