Few shots from the Flamingo Reserve. The Andean Flamingos have a black tail/behind.

Re: Los Flemincos National Reserve
I have already seen these pictures on a flicker, I should note - excellent, a fascinating bird. Sury - you are lucky that you filmed these birds in the wild.
Everything in the life unusual!

Hi, Sury;
All three are lovely, my favourite being 3rd where one flamingo is either preparing to take off or land…
Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz

Re: Los Flemincos National Reserve
Thank you Valery and Yildiz.
They are in flight about to land.
Just landed
Their beaks are constantly in the water filtering food (insects, larvae etc). Their food is rich in beta carotene hence the pink/red color.

They are beautiful, Sury, and you captured them nicely.
They are not as pink as the ones that live in Africa or some other places probably due to distinctive what they feed on here, around these habitats. Not much red algae or invertebrates, apparently. They are a beautiful contrast, tough.
