It's 930pm Friday night and pouring rain outside! At last news our fuschia flock was still standing stoically outdoors and they are certainly soggy! Like other homeless animals in Monroe County they really have no place to go to seek shelter. The sudden closure of the SPCA at the Godfrey Ridge Road property in Stroudsburg was unexpected. The building remains vacant! While local animal advocates work to secure a lease and funding to re-open the doors, animals endure the elements! While I sit indoors enjoying the comforts of home, dogs and cats that previously could be sheltered indoors wait for a decision? The decision can be simply stated,how can I help? Our feathered friends hunker down to endure a night in the rain to increase awareness and funding to "RE-OPEN THE SHELTER!" They hope that by their highly visible presence in the Poconos, money will pour in like the rain to ensure the growth of this groundswell movement. We will all sleep better at night! I know a flamingo or two nods their beak in agreement on Main Street in Stroudsburg tonight.
I hope all the Flamingos are still there after last nights storm!. Good Grief. Any Clues as to where the Next Flamingo Fly by might Occur?

Apparently our feathered friends found the location on Main Street in Stroudsburg outside Ken and Company to be a suitable layover. They were still there as of 7pm Saturday but appear recovered and restless after last nights storm. Maybe the proximity to the nearby poultry purveyor at Kentucky Fried Chicken has them nervous? It is unusual for a flock of flamingos to stop for too long on their migration, especially when their work is done at 1 spot. Due to the generosity of Ken and Company we are getting closer to our true goal, opening the shelter in Monroe County!
