Finally got a bridge across this creek behind my house and damn at all the water fowl. Looks to be several retention ponds that were never used and ducks,cranes and 2 pink flamingos were out there. My daughter saw them and asked what they were,they were flying about 50 feet above us and I couldnt believe it.

Sure they were flamingos? There are other birds that are not as tall as flamingos that are pink too! Were you live? I could take care of the ducks for you.

They were most likely Roseate Spoonbills.

Yes their bills looked funny but man they were bright pink. Beautiful damn bird ! Neighbor acted as if he didnt believe me so he went back there to check the duck situation and when he came out he said damn youre right lol

Their plummage varies in color from nearly white to almost red depending on how many crustaceans they eat.
Roseate Spoonbill

Yeah, we call them Grobeck. Depending what they eat, their plumage will differ in color

Gros-becs are night herons.

Grobeck is a "cow bird". Scarlet ibis is not the same thing and I don't think they change colors, although I may be wrong. All you coonass boys call em something the means "crooked nose" and I can't spell it. By the way, they taste like shite.

Rosette Spoonbill
Many people have mistaken them for flamingos.

this. We see them by our lease. The first time they were spotted was by a friend of mine who rarely hunts. He pulled me aside and said he knows i will think he's crazy but he thought he saw a flamingo fly by.
He was right, i ribbed him for a long time until we evertually starting seeing them.

That is 99.999% likely true, Flamingos barely make it to Florida and they are simply not found in Louisiana unless recently released from captivity.

Nope they were flamingos,looked up a pic of one and that is exactly what I saw.

go see if they sleep standing on 1 foot. That will solve it...
