Finding the Flock?

Avid birdwatchers showing up this morning to catch a glimpse of the rarely recorded pink flamingo in East Stroudsburg came away empty-nesters! The flock had flown the coop! Thanks to the generosity of Pocono Dental Associates and Wellspring East, over $500 was raised for the Animal Welfare Society of Monroe in less than 8 hours! Fearing the flock might distract drivers and cause commotion on East Brown Street, AWSOM volunteers took the birds under their wings and found them safe haven overnight at an undisclosed location, due to the lack of a proper animal shelter in the county.However, the flamingos took flight by 5am this morning and reliable sources report flamingo sightings on Main Street in Stroudsburg! Apparently there were a few ruffled feathers due to the lack of a proper shelter, and the flock was spotted resting outside the Ken and Company Spa and Salon on Main Street in Stroudsburg waiting to be taken in and properly pampered! Apparently these birds require proper care as evidenced by their choice of roosts at a dental office, holistic healing center and now the spa? The flock can be spotted resting comfortably at the intersection of Main Street and Route 191 on the corner lot outside Ken and Company. Apparently the proximity to the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise doesn't ruffle feathers on this flock! The flamingos hope to rest a while at this location and do their duty by raising awareness and funding to help meet the needs of homeless pets in Monroe County. Drive-by and you'll hear them honking!
