Flamingos Nesting Colony Declared Wildlife Sanctuary
The 200 acre Hialeah Race Course in Florida is now an official wildlife sanctuary in cooperation with the Florida Audubon Society and Wild waterfowl. The colony originated from Cuba 30 years ago and is the only known flamingo group outside their native habitat that can fly freely. Separately, King Buck the retriever, famous from the duck stamp and national championships, died near Brighton Illinois at Nile Kennels days before his 14th birthday. A coyote sighting near the Madison Union county line in Ohio is noted with positive ID by Ohio State University staff. An odd dark pink sandhill crane observed northwest of North Platte in Nebraska is described as a cross between a sandhill crane and a flamingo by Sam Grasmick, highlighting its unusual color and wary behavior.
