What's pink and white and likes to spend time in Texas? An escaped African flamingo from a Kansas zoo!

Coastal Fisheries staff recently helped with the Texas colonial waterbird survey near Lavaca Bay and spotted this legendary flamingo. Nicknamed No. 492 for its leg band, this flamingo escaped a Kansas Zoo in 2005 and has been living its "bird" life ever since. A treat for avid bird watchers, it makes an appearance every few years in Texas. #FieldWorkFriday
