Well, no. I've never seen a flamingo in the wild, but I did make a trip to Florida this week. It was to Walt Disney World, which is actually a fabulous place to look for birds. Even with all the theme parks, hotels, parking lots, etc, they have set aside a lot of land as wildlife preserves with natural water features, so it's not unusual to spot ibis hanging around 'it's a small world' or ducks in the moat in front of Cinderella Castle. I love the Connecticut birds I have at home now, but I was happy to see some of the birds I used to spot right in my Tampa backyard. And not a single mosquito bite!
