Bird watchers spotted a flock of flamingos near Petenwell Lake Friday. The photographer, Mike Stephens, tells 12 News he took the photos on the south end of the lake, north of Wisconsin Rapids.
The birds first appeared a week ago on South Beach in Port Washington. Days later, the birds were spotted along the Wisconsin River near the Dells.
Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources told us at the time it hoped the birds would begin to fly south, not north.

Scientists believe the tropical birds were blown off course by Hurricane Idalia. Wisconsin is the farthest north they've been spotted, but they have been seen throughout the Midwest in recent months.
