I was flocking alone, 70 flamingos to be exact! It was a very special occasion and keeping it a surprise was very important to the flocker!

Across the street and nearly a block down, I saw the hot end of a cigarette walking my way; I waved as he got closer hoping he didn’t speak! I gave the old ‘ssshhh’ gesture, without making a sound.

The early 20’s fella walked all the way into the yard, looked at the message board and whispered “that’s awesome!” Turned on his heels, and walked away. Whew, one that didn’t use their outside voice!
