Default Thoes are not just flamingos...

They are in fact the famous "Floridian Flamingo"... During our road trip last winter to visit with FLboater, we had the discussion about Flamingos... Everyone in our group though they we indigenous to the region, however after researching on the "net" I found the only the "Floridian Flamingo" was the only ture native species. According to Wikipedia; they are a smaller bird with wirily legs, vivid pink plumage and can hold a hunting stance for hours. It went on to say that they only take fight at night. I've also heard that if they appear on your lawn in the morning... You've just been "Flocked" and you have to pay a fee to have them environmentally removed.

There's a flock of them at the underwater shrine in Jockey cove. Until I saw them down there, I never knew they were amphibious too. You do know where the Shrine is, don't you? Now, that worth seeing, an easy dive....
