Winged Migration; Wrong Turn!?!?


It's been a few days since we've heard a word from a certain bird! Our wayward bird was last seen barreling south on I-95 getting a head start on the rest of the flock! While a certain flamingo fetcher laid chase, the rest of our fundraising(or is it funraising) flock took stock of the situation and decided to really hit the air and multiple sites throughout the Poconos to add to the bank account needed to open the doors of our local animal shelter. While MellowYellow and his pink companion took a siesta South of the Border, the flock paid visits to several area businesses and supporters to keep awareness sky-high and funds flying in! With all the airtime our flamingos are logging, they get very hungry as you might imagine. While there are lots of questions about the regular diet of wild flamingos, our gluttonous gang are all about carb-loading for the long haul ahead! The flock typically avoids cold weather but when they heard of a local Blizzard, they descended on Dairy Queen to learn more. They went nuts and ordered everything in flight(or is that sight)? Apparently some of our local car crazy animal lovers flock to the Dairy Queen on Route 209 on Friday nights and they offered to drive some of our weary flock around to give their wings a much needed rest. More to follow!
