Description
A Greater Flamingo in flight - it's an unbelievable sight against the awesome blue morning sky of Rio Lagartos, Mexico.
The greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread species of the flamingo family. Sub-adult flamingos are whitish-grey and only attain the pink coloration several years into their adult life. The coloration comes from the carotenoid pigments in the organisms that live in their feeding grounds.
