Notes

General Note:

Circa 1960s The colorful flamingos are a symbol for Florida. They were in great abundance when the Spaniards landed here inthe 16th century. Sitting in the swamps in big clusters, the discoverers mistook them for flower bushes, and called the new land "Florida" Island of Flowers. This picture shows a close-up of two beautiful Flamingos in the Parrot Jungle, near Miami, famous Florida attraction. Photo by H. W. Hannau.
