After Hurricane Idalia in August 2023, flamingos were spotted in unexpected spots as far as Kansas. These elegant birds made a comeback with over 150 sightings in Florida over four weeks. Intrigued, I embarked on a kayaking expedition to photograph them. Venturing to Bird Island off Haulover Canal, I had thrilling moments, mistaking a dolphin for a shark and capturing Cormorants taking flight at sunrise. Encountering a flamboyance of flamingos with their unique feeding ritual, I'm left wondering: will they stay or leave, revealing their survival story in Florida's changing landscape.
