Hurricane Idalia blows flamingos as far as Ohio (BBC) [View all]
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66727107Flamingos have been spotted in the Midwest and eastern parts of the US after being blown in by the storm.
Birds thought to be from Mexico first started appearing in Florida and then made landfall as far north as Ohio.
...
"These birds are stressed right now," said Mr Lorenz. "They just went through a terrible ordeal."
As for their future wellbeing, Mr Lorenz says flamingos can fly for thousands of miles, so he is confident those in Ohio will have little problem getting home before the Midwest winter begins to bite.
