American Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber)Observer
dianaabrilDescription
This flamingo, was one that was awake around 8:30 pm at night. Something different I noticed as that the flamingo's wing was very long and it had a lot of black on ts wing.
I found out through my research that "The Caribbean flamingo has a wingspan of 150 cm (59 in.)". Perhaps this is why

This garden is in the library of the city of Burlington. It is a pretty garden, but what makes it very unique is that there is a stand alone tree and vines all around the tree. It gives it a neat effect and this natural setting brings a very zen atmosphere to the quiet zone of the library.

This peacock stared to pose for all the tourist at this resort in Riviera Maya. The path the peacock was on, was very busy in the morning as guest of the hotel made their way to breakfast. It was very interesting to see that this peacock kept posing for picture and shifted to flashes and loud camera clicks. The peacock slowly rotated for her picture to be take by those around her. It was interesting to see that this animal was not afraid of people and loved being the center of attention.
