The Newfoundland Flamingos were two reported American flamingos seen in Newfoundland, Canada. It is unknown how they got there, as no storm was present at the time, nor were any nearby zoos missing flamingos. To this day, the explanation remains a mystery.
1977 sighting[]
In the summer of 1977, resident Harry Mitchell, a 21 year old hunter from Woodstock, Newfoundland, was going into the wilderness, when he spotted two large birds, with long legs and a long neck. Thinking they were geese, due to them being far away, he shot one, causing the other to fly away. As he walked closer, he realized it was a flamingo. He brought it home to show his family, and he became known as the man who shot a flamingo.[1] The flamingo was brought to the Rooms Museum in St. John's[2]. The location of the other flamingo remains unknown, and it is most likely deceased. To this day, it is unknown how or why the flamingos were in Newfoundland, as they are only found in southern Florida and the Caribbean. This anomaly is similar to the Northern Spoonbill, a vagrant roseate spoonbill, which appears in upper regions for reasons that cannot be determined.
