Hurricane Idalia Brought Wind, Rain, and Beautiful Flamingos

Hurricane Idalia Brought Wind, Rain, and Beautiful Flamingos shows readers photos taken from very far away of the flamingos that are currently in Cedar Key. It explains how they got there and how unusual it is.

Dabbling on the Mud Flats Hurricanes can do all sorts of unusual things. They can spawn tornadoes and water spouts, they can have an amazingly calm center, and of course, they can wreak havoc on everyone and everything in their way. Sometimes they also bring in new and unusual wildlife. By now, I’m sure many of you have heard that one thing Hurricane Idalia did was blow some flamingos off course…

THE ROSEATE SPOONBILL

Platalea ajaja

Switzerland, 1990–2000

69 × 43 × 19 cm

The Roseate Spoonbill is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family Threskiornithidae and it is named after its bright pink plumage and oddly unique beak structure.

The flamboyant Roseate Spoonbill looks like it came straight out of a Dr Seuss book with its bright pink feathers, red eyes staring out from a partly bald greenish head, and giant spoon-shaped bill. It is a resident breeder in South and North America, mostly east of the Andes and in the coastal regions of the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and the Gulf Coast of America as far north as South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach. In winter they leave Florida to stay in Chile or Argentina.

The bird feeds on aquatic insects, crustaceans, frogs, newts and tiny fish. Like the American flamingo their pink color is diet-derived since shrimps, crabs and crayfish are their favourite menu and they fill the spoonbill with the organic pigments called carotenoids.

The Roseate Spoonbill presented here was prepared by a Swiss taxidermist after its natural demise.

Lonely Flamingo in South Central Pennsylvania, same bird as a few days ago. The other bird is missing, it is in a rehab center, as it was attacked by a snapping turtle that also resides in the pond. It is interesting to hear what people say about this... I mentioned that some tend to humanize the creature. A lady at the pond last night said the government should put both on a plane and fly them to Florida... a bit extreme... others want this one caught and put with the other one at the rehab center. The worries are real I guess, this one could migrate with out its mate, or it could not migrate and die from exposure, it will not be able to survive here during the winter. There is concern about the diet they are eating, more predators. There is a funding site for the Flamingo that had to have surgery... If I am being honest... I think there are people that need help, I feel the pull in my soul to help animals over humans. Humans are generally the cause of the animal issues... though sometimes it is a stretch to really see it. This post is just a snip it of my thoughts on this, only my feelings... my blog my shitty feelings and thoughts. They are beautiful creatures... in some way everything is.

Unveiling the Magic: My First Day at Flamingo Crossings

So today is the big day. After two days of traveling to Orlando, Florida, I have arrived. Physically, mentally, and literally arrived. This stop on my journey is mine alone. I made this happen with no pretense. There is no treatment center to return to, no outpatient, no sober house. I moved here because I made it happen thanks to all I have learned at said places. They were the foundation, and now I am building the scaffolding of my house. The foundation is vast and ever-expanding, just like my dreams and possibilities. There is a lot to build on, and for that, I am grateful.

Now back to my day. It started with an amazing egg sandwich made with love from a family friend. The 45-minute drive to Flamingo Crossing, where I reside, felt like 10 minutes; the excitement kept my mind racing. Upon arriving, the nerves set in. What will they say about my beard, my tattoos? Will they turn me away? Do they even care?

I start to walk up the path following 6 others as they have the same nervous energy exuding from them. As I enter the main outside atrium, the reality of where I am is starting to set in. I have seen this exact place so many times through pictures since I first applied. Whether that be TikToks, YouTube videos, or Reddit posts, I have been here! Digitally! And now it's come to fruition walking by the same life-size chessboard that I have seen hundreds of times it feels. After taking in the atrium, we follow the many signs leading us to the outside lawn that is used for relaxing as well as events.

Once completing a form through a QR code, we are shuffled into 2 boxes lined with cones. They encourage us to start talking to others around us, and this seems to ease a lot of tension. The first interaction I had with another human on my DCP adventure was with Gina. She is from New Jersey (I could hear the accent) and going to be a greeter at Hollywood Studios. The same park I will be working at! We promised to say hello and meet again someday, maybe when going to work or maybe around the corridors of the plaza. I'm now scanning. Tattoos, beards. Where are they?! BAM. I nearly sprint to the nearest person with tattoos. She has more than me, and I am instantly at ease. At the same time, I initiate contact; another person with tattoos is converging on the spot. Phew! We are here for each other. We have some fun banter for a few minutes. As for the beards, well, one of the employees (cast members) had one!

After some time, we are corralled into a room where we watch a 14 minutes and 23 seconds video. Mainly about rules. Then we are again corralled into another room where we receive our key cards to our rooms, room numbers, building numbers. And then we are off! I head back to the car where I find mom and dad, and the moving begins. I was able to acquire a wagon to put all my belongings in, and we quickly found my building. It is right beside the main central buildings and overlooks the pool on the third floor.

 I met my roommate Ian. He is a very cool guy. I was worried about my age being an outcast but he's 34! And says a lot of older people do the program. We talked for a good hour as the room got set up and my mom put 98% of everything away. Thanks, mom! After the room was set up, it was time to head to Target for some essentials.

I got my background check done at 11 and then got some much-needed lunch. Everything was hitting me at 100 miles an hour. All my feelings and emotions just overflowed at that moment. The food was really able to help. Maybe I shouldn’t have drunk that large Dunkin' cold brew… I said goodbye to mom and dad as they went on to do their own thing, and I finished putting a few things away and talked with Ian some more. We are going to be a great fit as roommates, thank you lord, my prayers have been answered.

 Ian went to work at 3, and I had another “meeting” to attend where they answered a lot of common questions and explained a lot to us. I walked out around 5 and went straight to the buses. I wanted to learn how to use them. I got on the first one I saw and just went. I ended up at the Contemporary, the resort with the monorail that goes straight through it. So I hopped on the monorail and did a complete loop. I learned that it takes 20 minutes to loop the whole way. People-watching was crazy and surreal. So so so many people! So many strollers and babies. I wasn’t even in the park. I truly can't grasp how big these parks are and the amount of people that come through the park doors each day and each year.

 After the monorail, I headed back to the village. It was interesting to see the other cast members getting on the bus as their shifts were over and the people headed to their shifts. I love all the different costumes they wear! It makes me so very excited to get my own costume in a few days and feel so a part of everything. The bus ride was a little under 15 minutes, and I took the long way back to get a nice walk in and to call Philip (my brother). We had some lovely conversation and some encouraging words were spoken. I need to call Matthew next (my brother). I got back to an empty apartment and started writing this post! Got my HomePod set up and listening to Ariana Grande's new album. Also watching some people stream Overwatch. I also forgot to mention that my other two roommates excluding Ian are from France and work at the very fancy restaurant at the France pavilion in Epcot. Very cool! Till next time! Bye! Thanks for reading 😊

A Nightmare In Fuchsia

for the Stiles Shipping Central discord’s monthly ficlet exchange!! @illbeintheend i tried to go for more humor than fluff 😂 lemme know if i succeeded haha

| Stackson | 1k | Teen | Humor | Crack | Flamingos | Florida Man |

(also on AO3)

Stiles had never anything against flamingos. They were a little garish, sure, and they made any and all merchandise using their likeness positively reek of Florida vibes whether the product actually had anything to do with Florida or not, but Stiles had always had a certain amount of respect for flamingos. They had flair! They had a great gimmick with the whole one-foot-balancing thing! They could survive in weirdly extreme climates and conditions!

All in all, they were pretty cool birds. Stiles had never had any problem with flamingos. But apparently, today, they had a problem with him.

Or, more accurately, the sorcerer—yes, he was Floridian, go figure—had a problem with the whole pack and had decided to express this grievance in the form of a goddamn flock of fucking demon flamingos let loose to chase them through the Preserve. Stiles was no expert, but he was pretty sure normal flamingos didn’t have teeth like that. Crashing through the trees behind him, hot on his trail, they sounded just like the velociraptors from Jurassic Park. Maybe they were a hybrid or something.

Stiles didn’t turn around to look more closely. His only saving grace was that it was, for once, not the middle of the night and he could actually see where he was putting his feet this time. That was probably the only thing that had saved him from tripping and rolling face-first off a cliff by now, to be set upon and likely eaten.

Good god, he was really gonna be taken out by Florida Man’s life-sized snow globe decoration turned attack bird. This is not how he’d planned to die. He’d been hoping for something with a little more dignity to it, and, okay, maybe he spoke too soon about not tripping off a cliff.

He’d just grabbed hold of a tree branch to fling himself to one side—zigzagging was for alligators, but why shouldn’t it work here too?—when his foot found a slippery patch of leaves, and then he was falling. It was a hill he rolled down, not a cliff, but it still hurt like a bitch with every point of impact. His bones rattled and his breath was gone and the pterodactyl shrieks were suddenly a hell of a lot closer and there was nothing he could do but lie there and hope everything stopped spinning in time for him to start running again.

One second, there was a whole lot of pink encroaching on his blurry field of vision. The next, there was familiar green plaid and a roar that shook the ground. Stiles was too busy heaving an enormous sigh of relief to see if Jackson actually fought the damn things or if they just got spooked and booked it back to their master, but the next thing he knew, Jackson was on his knees beside him.

“Hey, dumbass,” Jackson said, worriedly. “You break an bones?”

“Love you too, sweetcheeks. And I don’t think so.”

With Jackson’s help, Stiles managed to force his battered body into an upright position, but there wasn’t much he could do about his dignity. The perfectly smooth, expressionless look on Jackson’s face spoke volumes.

“Go ahead and laugh,” Stiles told him.

Jackson’s mouth twitched. “I’m not laughing. There’s nothing to laugh at. You almost died.”

“I almost got eaten by evil magic flami—”

Stiles didn’t even finish that ludicrous statement before Jackson lost it. And he really lost it. Two years of dating the guy and Stiles had never seen Jackson laugh so hard, including that time Lydia had gotten lightly electrocuted and ended up with her hair a gigantic staticky orange cloud around her head. He even forsook his nice, high-quality clothes in favor of falling back into the dirt and rolling around in it.

“Oh, ha fucking ha,” Stiles yelled. “It’s not that funny!”

“You’ve got—” It took Jackson three tries to actually make words. “—a feather in your—” He reached out to paw at Stiles’ head. “—hair!”

Stiles swatted the offending feather, obnoxiously pink, out of his hand. “I’m never going to a zoo again. Fuck flamingos! Flamingos are canceled, you hear me? I’m gonna be having nightmares about this for years. You’re paying for my therapy bills.”

Jackson didn’t even protest that, too busy wiping at his streaming eyes and trying to figure out how to breathe again. Eventually, he noticed the intensity of Stiles’ pouting. He rolled himself upright again and kissed him.

“I’m glad you’re not bird food,” he said solemnly. “And I’ll make it up to you.”

Stiles pouted harder. “You better. I expect sexual favors. Many, many sexual favors. And pampering! Massages! Literally all of me is sore, and I’m officially making it your problem.”

“Fine by me.”

Jackson got to his feet first and offered Stiles his hand, levering him off the ground with the kind of ease that always made Stiles a tiny bit horny. He was too tired for it now, though. Also his ankle might have been twisted. Stupid fucking birds. With an aggravated huff, he leaned against Jackson and said, “No one can know about this. Ever. You hear me?”

“Oh, absolutely everybody is gonna hear about this,” Jackson said immediately. “Both because it’s important to study the enemy’s tactics and because it’s fucking hilarious and we could all use a laugh or two.”

“Oh my god, I hate you. I hate you so much.”

“Not as much as you hate flamingos.”

Stiles laughed against his will. “I don’t know, man. The flamingos at least have the excuse of being creatures of pure evil! You’re just a dick.”

“Yeah,” Jackson sighed, completely unrepentant. “But I also suck dick, so it all evens out in the end.”

That much was true, and he proved it as soon as they got back to the jeep. Twice. It was almost good enough to make up for the indignity of how hard the rest of the pack laughed when Jackson told them the tale.

American Flamingos in Pennsylvania

One of two American Flamingos near Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Photo by Bruce Stambaugh. This is how birding works. Just before my wife and I left to visit our 16-month-old grandson and his parents in Rochester, NY, a friend in Florida posted on social media about American Flamingos being spotted in a farm pond in south-central Pennsylvania. I knew we couldn’t stop on the way up, but I hoped…

St. Petersburg, FL

I love the Saturday morning in St. Petersburg, FL, from October to May. You will enjoy the fresh and organic vegetables and fruits. You can also have local arts and crafts which you will find very beautiful. You will also enjoy the street performers and live music. If you like to socialize, you will do great things with more than 10, 000 people also watching over. You can also have some good times at the outdoor venue. There are lovely spots that have a capacity of more than 2 000 people. However, I am not sure if the pier is now open after it was closed for improvement.

13-Year-Old St. Pete Boy Charged With Murder Of Grandmother

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — St. Peterburg Police have arrested a 13-year-old boy and charged him with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his grandmother Monday morning.

St. Petersburg Police responded to call of a woman in need of assistance at 634 60th Ave. S. just after 3:30 a.m. Monday.

When officers arrived, they discovered Gloria Davis, 56, dead from multiple stab wounds. Read more here.

Upon reading the title of the article that a 13- year old boy is charged with murder for killing his grandmother, I felt very sad. This boy stabbed his grandmother that causes her death. The victim is Gloria Davis, who was 56 years old, who was found dead in her home in 60th Avenue Street in St. Petersburg. It is very devastating to note that a grandson can do it to his grandmother. She is taking care of him, but how come would he kill her. From the report, it was not clear what the motive was. So, where does this kid learn to stab a person? It could be from violent games. Kids need guidance from their parents. It is not something to ignore.

Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, FL

The Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, FL, is a lovely one. It has more than 50 000 tropical plants and flowers to enjoy. You can also see some cactus, royal palms, Japanese garden, fruit trees, water lilies, butterfly garden, and even flock of Flamingos. My favorite spots in Sunken Gardens are wedding lawn, koi ponds, beautiful gardens, and tropical birds. It is very calming and gorgeous to look at. I even enjoy watching the birds in the cage, the snapping turtles, and the tortoises. I love stopping by here every time I pass by because I believe that this place is a fantastic gem.

I like Cindy's Florida LLC because of the excellent service that you can get from them to form your Limited Liability Company (LLC). You know it is worthy of forming LLC when you know that it is formed correctly. Florida companies are advantageous because you can form an Anonymous LLC. There are strategies on how to do it, and Cindy's Florida LCC is the best to go to for help. Another advantage is that everything is done online, there is a fast filing time, and there is no need for you to visit Florida at all nor visit the USA. The LLCs are taxable both as S or C-Corps.

The Gingerbread Man (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

Summary: "Christmas, like everything else in Florida, was going to suck..." Jake is stuck in Coral Palms for Christmas, and he wants nothing more than to buy a one-way to ticket to New York and spend it with Amy. But he's a good police officer and an even better boyfriend, so he will have to make do with a gift. Media: Brooklyn Nine Nine Genre: Angst, little bit of fluff Warnings: Mentions of Figgis and accompanying canon-typical violence Word count: 1055 Notes: So in 405 "Halloween IV" when Amy is showing Rosa her virtual binder, I thought I noticed a little plush gingerbread man on her keychain. I couldn't help but wonder how it got there...

Christmas, like everything else in Florida, was going to suck.

Jake didn’t know what he expected--that all the trailer homes would magically transform into cute little brownstones and people would suddenly decide to trade their cargo shirts and muscle tops for tailored suits and tartan dresses? But there were only gaudy lights, plastic flamingos adorned with reindeer antlers, and a cardboard cutout of Santa-on-an-ATV that Todd had put in the shop window.

He missed all the stupid hokey tourist things in New York that he hated and Amy loved: carriage rides through Central Park, FAO Schwarz, the Rockefeller tree, and most of all the snow. Jake felt like a little kid for saying that, and most of the time the Brooklyn snow was more like slush. He complained about it every year, but now there was nothing more that he wanted than to cuddle up with Amy and watch the snow fall.

Instead, Jake spent Christmas Eve driving aimlessly through Coral Palms. After hours of gas stations and trailer parks, he found himself at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood, physically itching to leave. FLL was perhaps the happiest place in Florida, not because it was a nice place--there were rats in customs and gators in the toilets, presumably--but because everyone there knew how close they were to leaving Florida. One ticket, Jake thought. One ticket and I'd be out of here. His feet carried him into Terminal 2 - Domestic Flights. He walked to the counter like he was having an out-of-body experience and nothing was on his control, because nothing was. A 12:50 a.m. to LaGuardia, and he could hold Amy in his arms and tell her everything was going to be okay. “I love you, Ames. To hell with Figgis. To hell with the NYPD. I need to be with you. Not through letters, not over the phone, not in a few years. Now.” And she’d break down sobbing, and she could barely get out a word, and he'd say “Also, Florida is a hell-hole where even the Twinkies are swamp-flavoured, and a man can’t live with humid Twinkies.” Oh God, and now she’s laugh-crying, and she’s happy and smiling and in some ways it's even worse because he knows how likely it is that Figgis could kick down the door any minute and shoot her in the head.

“Sir? Are you alright? Do you want some help? Sir?” He was standing in front of the heavily-lipsticked ticket lady, comatose, unlistening, tears rolling down his cheeks.

“I'm sorry, what? No, I...”

“Do you still want the ticket? One economy ticket to LaGuardia?”

“No, sorry...I...sorry, I have to go. Sorry.”

On his brisk walk from the counter to the sliding doors--this was torture being here, being so close--Jake stopped at the dimly-lit gift shop. Head pillow, corn nuts, earbuds. Jake picked up a pack of Twinkies and a bottle of blue--he was in Florida now (and likely forever), so he might as well lean into it.

“Just these, please.”

On the counter was a faded Christmas display filled with sad little plushie keychains. Anywhere else, they would’ve been cute. But these little guys had been in this godforsaken airport for too long. Every day they watched people come and go--but mostly go--while they were condemned to this sad little shelf on the sad little counter of a sad little gift shop in the saddest place on earth.

“Actually, I’ll take this as well.”

“Good morning, Sarge.”

“Morning, Amy. Hey, were you expecting a package today?”

“No, why?”

“This was addressed to you,” Sarge said, handing Amy a tiny cardboard box. “No return address, no mailing address. Just showed up on the doorstep this morning. I was almost about to put the precinct in lockdown, but look at this.” On the bottom corner of the package, so small she could barely see it, was a symbol drawn in black Sharpie.

“Nakatomi Plaza,” she said. “It’s Jake.”

Amy grabbed the package out of Sarge’s hands and brought it over to her desk. Slicing the tape with her letter opener, she found a note carefully placed on top:

Dear Ames - I love you and I miss you. I miss New York and I miss Christmas. I miss us buying a tree and decorating the house. I miss baking gingerbread cookies and eating them while insisting Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever made. This is a pretty small post-it note, so I don’t have much room left, but I just needed you to know.

I love you and I miss you.

-- JP

Underneath, wrapped in tissue paper, was a plush keychain, a little gingerbread man.

“I love you and I miss you.”

A year before.

“Jake, how much cookie dough did you eat? This is only our fifth batch and we’re running out. Five batches, triple yield, six cookies per person, plus extra for Captain Holt...we’re 36 cookies below schedule, Jake. 36 cookies!”

“Oh, no, what? This is a disaster!”

“Thank you! This is a disaster!”

“You just got betrayed, son!”

Amy glanced at the phone in his hand.

“Lemme guess, Die Hard? Again? Stupid of me to think you were actually listening.” Overwhelmed, Amy crumpled to the kitchen floor.

“Whoah, Ames,” Jake said. He sat down beside her and tucked his phone back in his pocket. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know how upset you were.”

“No, I’m sorry,” Amy said, wiping tears from her face. “It’s just some stupid cookies. I overreacted. You can go back to watching your movie now.”

“No way, babe. I’m staying here with you.”

“Thanks. It’s not just cookies, you know. It’s just--with the hostage situation and everything, I was really worried about you. I thought you were dead. I just wanted one perfect, normal Christmas. Tree, lights, gingerbread men...”

“Hey, come here.” Jake pulled Amy into his arms. “It’s okay. Being a cop, dating a cop. We know it’d be stressful from the beginning. And yeah, sometimes I hate it. But you know what? I love you. And we’re gonna get through everything, good and bad, yeah?”

“Yeah. I love you.”

“I love you too. And hey,” Jake said, reaching up onto the counter and handing her a cookie. “No matter what happens, we still have gingerbread, right?”
