Description
Despite what you may have heard the American Flamingo is a Florida native. The flamingo population dwindled to almost nothing towards the end of the nineteenth century. So much so that experts believed there were no native flamingos in the US. Research found that while some of the birds migrated from Mexico, others lived in Florida year-round and in 2018 they were declared a native species. This particular bird was tagged as some point. The highest concentrations of the flamingo can be found n the Everglades.
It had just finished grabbing a drink when I snapped this so you can see a drop of water at the end of its beak.
