We saw a grand total of one flamingo in the Galapagos Islands. They number only 500 total in the entire archipelago so I guess that’s not too bad. The Galapagos flamingo is thought to be a separate subspecies of the greater flamingo. I was hoping for this one to fly or do something interesting, but ultimately I had to settle for a ground level reflection shot as it waded in a shallow lagoon feeding on algae and plankton.
