    Nice list, but it looks like you missed #3 in the list below Alligator Cove.

    @Dhole dude Does Hemker have any flamingos, and if so what species? I know they used to, but I don't see them on your lists and I'm having trouble finding current sources.

    They do indeed. They have had a flock of American Flamingos behind the scenes for quite some time, and are building a new exhibit set to open this summer.
