Photographers flock to Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas County Sept. 4, and this was just some of the many avid shooters, following reports that wild pink flamingos were in the preserve, possibly due to displacement during Hurricane Idalia. Islander Photo: Jacob Merrifield

Big Phoebe’s big prize Phoebe, Tampa International Airport’s 21-foot-tall pink flamingo created by Matthew Mazzotta, is the winner of an international art honor, the CODAWorx Award for art and design in the travel category, as well as the winner of a “People’s Choice” Award. One of the 18 judges who reviewed 411 entries from 24 countries said the installation in the terminal is “an excellent example of a public art project, combining joy, deep thought and site-specific approach.” Islander Courtesy Photo
