Usually I like to see the heads of my wildlife subjects, but in this case I made an exception. This is an American flamingo, photographed in the Galápagos Islands. It’s the only flamingo with a natural range that includes both North America and the Neotropical realm. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/1600th of a second.
