Though American flamingos are native to South Florida, they have not nested or existed in significant, wild populations here for more than a century. But in 2023, birds likely from the Caribbean and Yucatán, where they are also native, rode the winds of Hurricane Idalia to land back in our backyard. Now, experts want the flamingos, recently spotted in the marshy parts of South Florida they inhabited abundantly 100 years ago, to stay for good. #flamingos #southflorida #nest | NBC 6
