The stately birds were spotted on private property in Hale County.
Hurricane Idalia displaced an estimated 10,000 people when it struck north Florida last month - and apparently, directed flamingos into a corner of Alabama far from where they might otherwise be seen.
since Idalia made landfall Aug. 30, there have been flamingo sightings in at least nine other states: Florida, Ohio, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas and Kentucky.But researchers believe these flamingos aren’t native to Florida, but to Mexico. What may have happened is that the birds were either in Yucatan, or on their way to Cuba, when the storm struck, causing them to scatter throughout the eastern U.S.
Anyone seeing a flamingo should keep a good distance of about 100 yards, since the birds are not in their native habitat.
