Gators aren't the only out-of-place animal spotted recently in Kentucky. (Read that story here.)Recently, someone saw a pink flamingo walking around a lake just south of Morehead.Amanda Frazier captured the long-legged bird walking in Cave Run Lake."My husband looked over and he said 'Look at that flamingo!' and we were laughing, because we thought someone had brought a plastic one and pushed it down in the sand," Frazier said.The bird is commonly associated with the tropics, so it's not necessarily wild to spot one in a place like Florida. So how'd they end up in the Commonwealth?The leading theory right now is that flamingos got diverted by Hurricane Idalia while they were traveling in the Caribbean.James Brunjer with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife told our affiliate, WKYT, it was likely one of several swept north from the Yucatan Peninsula. Brunjer says this particular storm caused flamingos to flock into nine different U.S. states, adding that it’s the first-ever recorded sighting of the bird in Kentucky.So how long will the bird stick around? Brunjer said it’s likely starting a very long journey back home.
