Feb. 17th, 2008: The Texel FLAMINGO!!!

Ok, I know these photos are not the greatest since I don't have a very large zoom on my camera... But, I saw a FLAMINGO on Texel yesterday!!! Yes, it is a real flamingo and not a plastic one, and yes, it is alive. I have no idea what it is doing here or if it can even survive here (it has been quite cold out here recently, but sunny, which is nice). I couldn't really get any closer to the flamingo to take a better picture - but I did ask a friend who has a really fancy camera if he could take a picture of it. So, hopefully he'll be able to get a better photo of it...

Hi Isla,
This is Jorge,neat that you got that flamingo, you wish you had my new digital camera with its 18-200 zoom, (a 28-300 35mm equivalent, 11x). Try to keep tags on it and see what happens, it may become a permanent fixture there, maybe it is just heralding global warming.
