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 plumage of all flamingo species.
In captivity they can live up to 40 years. Caribbean Flamingos are also known as the 'Rosy Flamingo' and the 'American Flamingo.'
The word 'Flamingo' comes from the Latin word for flame.
This photo of the Caribbean Flamingo, is one of my favorites because of the way it shows the bright yellow of their eyes and the fiery look that it's pink and greyish-white feathers make while showing the limberness of its neck.
