I don't know if this is a male or female Flamingo, but I named it Florentino Flamingo, because it had a nice ring to it. It is another resident of the Columbus Zoo. Thanks for the comments and views.

Incredible birds. I like the composition and the fine detail of the plumage of the bird in the foreground.

Great colors JimBob. I really like the way you captured these two with their necks - one in front of the other to form an S and a backward S. There must be two in the background, but it actually looks like one with two heads. You must have really had a good day at the zoo (or have you moved in there permanently?)

Males or females the flamingoes look beautiful. A fine capture Jimbob. Florentino eh? somehow the name sounds quite suitable.

To me it sounds like a name for an pink Italian Gigolo Flamingo. Hey you better watch out! He may have the hots for those cute lady pink plastic Flamingo's in your yard...Nice capture Jimbob!

I love flamingo's & the name fits perfectly. Wonderful detail & the blurred birds in the background add to the image. Very well done Jim.

What a great shot of the flamingo's, I love the color pink on them. Fact; Flamingo's get there pink coloring by the food they love to eat, shrimp! I just had to get that out, I sure most of you know that already.

A zoo is a good place to get great shots. I like their coloring. I've never seen one, but they look to be really large birds. Beautiful shot.

Just keep feeding them shrimp and they'll be as bright as those plastic babies people stick out on the yard.

Nice job, JimIJustGottaGetAFlamingFlamingoBob!

The one at the foreground is a male and the other ones are female flamingos Jimbob. You could have known this answer as males (esp. human males) are always at the foreground, lol.
Great post my friend!
