San Francisco Zoo: Snoozing Flamingo Keeping an Eye Open
I'll be posting a picture every day from my trip to the San Francisco Zoo last week, and here's one that didn't appear on the collage I made!
This is a lovely Chilean Flamingo, and the large flock of about 50 was located mere feet away, over a relatively low fence, so taking pictures was easy and so much fun! I was surprised how small these birds were...they stand between 43-51" tall but for some reason, I thought they were 64-72"!! Granted, they ARE large birds, I just thought they were bigger!! :D
I took the liberty of cutting this bird out and giving it a black background for a more dramatic look. :)
From Wikipedia:
The Chilean Flamingo is a large species of flamingo at 110–130 cm (43–51 in), closely related to Caribbean Flamingo and Greater Flamingo. It breeds in temperate South America from Ecuador and Peru to Chile and Argentina and east to Brazil; it has been introduced into Germany and the Netherlands. There also a small population in Utah and California. Like all flamingos it lays a single chalky white egg on a mud mound.
