Despite multiple reports of a flamingo floating around separate from the flock, this flighty flamingo was finally located. There had been rumors one of the female flamingos took off on her own, but it appears that she is very much alive and well. Apparently this flirtacious bird had heard that today was the rain date for the Camp Papillon 2009 Build the Sanctuary Charity Ride and caught a ride with one of the participants. The group started to flock together at Neds on 9th in Stroudsburg Sunday at 10am and at least 75 bikers showed up to raise funding for Camp Papillons' Sanctuary Fund. The ride took off at noon and though most migrations this time of year head north, this group flew southbound for the Riverview Grille in Easton where the flock was fed and listened to live bands all day! Our "missing flamingo" was finally photographed riding passenger with "MellowYellow on his Gold Wing!" Everyone appeared to be having a great time and the ride organizers were "tickled pink" by the turnout for a Sunday Rain Date! This event shows there is room for multiple rescue efforts in the Poconos and also shows that animal advocates like to participate in animal events of all types. The president of Animal Welfare Society of Monroe,Bill Hoffman, and his wife Lori of No Kill Monroe County were spotted supporting this event along with Board of Director member, Clair Thompson. Camp Papillon had a fantastic event and participants had the chance to catch up with Geri, Heather, Barb and many of the Camp Papillon group. Great day for the animals of Monroe County.
