I always love to take a closer look to the plumage of birds I photograph. Sometimes there could be explored a little art work of mother nature
Meet "Peaches" a recently released American Flamingo that was rehabilitated and banded after Hurricane Idalia. They're enjoying their new digs in Pinellas County as they continue to build strength. Who knows if Peaches or any of the others will stick around, but I hope they will!
Sorry if everyone is tired of Flamingo pictures, but they're still fascinating to me ever since the hurricane blew them in.

This magnificent bird has been the cause of a great deal of artistic angst - bits of it just would not go together the way he wanted!!
These nesting birds were quietly arranged along the muddy banks of their enclosed pond - the mounds of dirt are carefully sculpted by their beaks and feet, and on each nest a single egg will be laid.

Der Kuba-Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) oder Rote Flamingo ist eine Art der Flamingos (Phoenicopteridae). Sein Lebensraum sind Lagunen und Salzseen in Mittel- und Südamerika. Wie alle Flamingos ist der Kubaflamingo seriell monogam, d. h., er geht mit jeder Fortpflanzungsperiode eine neue Paarbeziehung ein. Er ist ein Koloniebrüter, seine Nahrung besteht hauptsächlich aus Kleinkrebsen.
Die IUCN gibt den Gesamtbestand des Kubaflamingos mit 850.000 bis 880.000 Tieren an. Die Art gilt damit als „nicht gefährdet“.
Das Gefieder des Kubaflamingos ist im Prachtkleid einheitlicher und kräftiger rosa als das des Rosaflamingos. Die vordere Schnabelhälfte ist schwarz, die andere, der Schnabelbasis nähere, ist gelblich-rosa. Die Beine sind einheitlich rosa-fleischfarben. Das Gewicht beträgt 2 bis 2,5 kg bei den Weibchen und 2,5 bis 3 kg bei Männchen, beide Eltern brüten die Jungen aus. Die Brutdauer beträgt 28 bis 32 Tage und findet zwischen Mai und August statt.
Seine Geschlechtsreife erreicht der Kubaflamingo mit 6 Jahren und hat eine Lebenserwartung von über 40 Jahren. Die Geschlechter der Tiere sind kaum zu unterscheiden.

American Flamingos have been spotted in unusual locations in Florida after hurricane Idalia passed through. This is in southwest Florida.
Busch Gardens Tampa Florida
There are flamingos in several areas of Busch Gardens. Right now they have some fuzzy babies in the nursery. They are behind glass and the light was not great so I did not take any images of them.
Wild Flamingos, photographed on a lake in the French Camargue. There was plenty of overt posturing going on here, with their chewing gum pink bills & snake-like necks. I think that they were having a slight disagreement over something, or at least that's what it looked like to me.
Southern France - August 2018.
Members of a group stand together and display to each other by stretching their necks upwards, then uttering calls while head-flagging, and then flapping their wings. The displays do not seem to be directed towards an individual, but instead occur randomly. These displays stimulate "synchronous nesting" and help pair up those birds that do not already have mates
