Description

Taken at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo - Cleveland, OH

Shots like these remind me that while flamingos can be kooky and silly and remind me of Alice in Wonderland, they are also a very elegantly designed animal. When I saw this Chilean Flamingo posing against the backdrop of vertical weeping willow stands, I couldn't help but pull the camera up to my eye and take the photo.

An interesting fact about Chilean Flamingos is that their lower bill is larger than their upper bill, a unique characteristic to flamingos.

The Pink Flamingo against the green makes a great, vibrant contrast. Fantastic job!
