day was being given the WASH

found It In Richmond.
The stilt-legged tropical bird.

was found in q Richmond pond
Wednesday. Virginia game
wardens caught the fiamingo
in a spirit Of compassion: the
birds can't stand Virginia type
winters.
The wardens had quite q
chase through the mud making
the capture. The bird (a) did
= few high jumps but didn't
ny and % was light pink
rather than dark pink. These
facts have led ornithologists
to think the flaming0 may be
tame: wild flamingos eat q
