"I’ve seen pink flamingos (I think that’s what they are) flying about down here in Texas. Also big vultures that swoop down for my dog. At least I think it was a vulture. Twas a huge thing, huge wing-span, middle of the night. Just came down and almost got my dog. Was gone after it failed."

The pink birds were Roseate Spoonbills.. There's a lot of them around here:

The bird that was after your dog was probably some kind of bird of prey like a huge hawk. Glad your dog's ok. Scary

Ah! That’s the bird! I really need to get educated about Texas wild-life!
