American Flamingo - Calhoun Co., November 1, 2014. Although the actual TBRC documentation of this bird is still under review and is labeled as "pending", the bands suggest this is the same bird documented in 2005-2006 in Region 7. It was documented by others at that time with the following TBRC documentation: A first-fall bird discovered at Shoalwater Bay, Calhoun, and subsequently moved to Aransas Bay,Aransas, and present from 14 October 2005-30 April 2006. This bird was later rediscovered near Bayside, Aransas, 25 July-15 August 2006 and again found at Aransas NWR from 20 November 2006-17 December 2006+ TBRC# 2005-128; TPRF 2354. This flamingo was banded and the banding scheme allowed the definite determination that the bird originated from the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, Yucatan, Mexico, where it had been banded in August 2005..
