Back on 10/20/96, I got a distant photo of three flamingoes in pond A18. We had just finished banding efforts for the day at, then, CCRS, when a worker with access to this closed pond stopped by to tell Chris Otahal and myself that he had seen flamingoes. He took us out there for a look. You can see this photo and an enlarged area of the image at This was almost eight years ago and I have no idea if one of these could be the same bird that is being seen now, but I had heard at the time from refuge workers that there had been flamingoes moving about the Bay for a while. Their origin could have been the SF Zoo or Marine World (when it was in Redwood City?), or maybe somewhere else. Thanks to Kathy Parker for calling her sighting a Chilean Flamingo; it made me revisit my images and reconsider what they were. I think they were also Chilean Flamingoes.
