American Flamingo The emblematic engraving of the work of a life both loving and observing birds and nature. Until about 1900, flocks of flamingos from the Bahamas regularly migrated to Florida Bay in what is now Everglades National Park. Today, most flamingos seen in the wild in North America are considered suspect because they may have escaped from aviaries or zoos. However, some of those appearing in Florida Bay may still be vagrants from colonies in the Bahamas, and some seen on the Texas coast may be from colonies on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.
