Title: Flamingoes spotted in Parma, Michigan

Couldn't help but think of Jimbo this weekend when our neighbor had a flock of flamingoes stop by his home. Spartan1 has a new camera for his fishing trip and he took this shot:

Spartan 2,

Yeah, the pink peckerheads have been "on strike" and have left Quetico & the province (much like the Democrats last March in Wisconsin) since Piragis stopped selling them as campsite markers last year. They figure on the law of "supply & demand" eventually kicking in; by next Spring their value as campsite markers will be way up! Please take good care of them while they are out of the province. I'm sure they'll eventually miss home & head back to roost in the Quetico where they belong.

Jimbo 8-)

I spotted one on Donald Lake (WCPP) before they congregated further south. We left there about the same time, since the party was just about over.
