Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)
There are six different species of flamingo. The Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) has the widest distribution of them all. Flamingos are found in wetland habitats; on coastal lagoons, mud flats and inland at large shallow lakes which may be very saline (salty) or highly alkaline (caustic, high pH). The Caribbean Flamingo is the National Bird of the Islands of the Bahamas. I took this picture on the Island of Inagua, the most southern Island in The Bahamas.
