Day 165/19. The Caribbean Flamingo

Caribbean Flamingos are the only flamingo to naturally inhabit North America. They are deep pink/red/orange in colour and they have the brightest coloured plumage of all flamingo species.
Caribbean Flamingos are found in the lagoons, mudflats and lakes of the Caribbean, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Galapagos Islands. They are highly social birds and they live in colonies that can contain thousands of individuals.
