As the late afternoon Caribbean sun
is about to set, a member of a
flamingo flock is preening his
feathers.  These birds have a
wingspan of 55 inches.  They can
weigh as much as six pounds, and
they can reach five feet tall.  These
Caribbean flamingos are found in
coastal salt lagoons or saltwater or
brackish shallows.  They acquire
their pinkish-orange color as a
result of the brine shrimp that is a
major part of their diet.  The
photographer has found flamingos
in North Cacos in the Turks and
Caicos Islands in the Caribbean and
also near the salt mines on Bonnaire
in the ABC Island chain belonging
to the Netherlands Antilles.
