About this postcard

The picture shows a flock of pink flamingos standing and nesting on rocky mounds beside a pond, with palm trees and dense tropical foliage behind them. The printed caption identifies the scene as Hialeah Park, the Miami-area race course long noted for its landscaped grounds and resident flamingo colony. Hialeah Park opened in the 1920s and became one of Florida's best-known sporting and tourist attractions.
