Bellingcat Challenge #2 “Flamin-Go Find It!”

When Kolina was out and about she snapped this shot of some friendly flamingos.

These wading birds are known for their long legs and bright pink plumage, and can be found all around the world. Can you wade through this challenge to find them?

What is the name of the area in which you’d find these flamingos?

Solution

I looked up where Kolina lived and found from her LinkedIn profile that she has lived in Seattle, Washington, since July 2020.

With the search narrowed to Seattle, I searched for "seattle flamingo zoo" and found the flamingo enclosure at Woodland Park Zoo. Comparing the challenge photo with a photo showing the wooden railing and another showing the fence and pond edge revealed the same features.
