Andean Flamingos (Phoenicoparrus andinus)

Andean Flamingos (Phoenicoparrus andinus) We walked out ca. 800 m and the birds were still at least that far away. I was already ankle deep in mud. This might show 1/5 of the flamingos that were there. A lot of dust devils swept through the area but they never disturbed the birds. Elevation 3,484 m (11,437 ft) October 2019
