The flamingo, nicknamed Pink Floyd, was seen at Rhodes Point, a cape located in the eastern part of Calhoun County, Texas.

The bird was walking on a section of land in the cape’s Cox Bay, near Port Lavaca. Pink Floyd and his accomplice (another flamingo) escaped from their enclosures after a wild storm hit the zoo back in June 2005.
