Flamingo Friday: Spectrum

Flamingos are a whole sunset’s-worth of colors, and those colors appear even more vibrant, and varied, during mating season. Note the line of deep magenta right above the leg and running under the rump—a not-so-subtle direction indicator, perhaps? (I’m pretty sure I don’t see that color in that place during other times of the year. Or maybe they’re just not flaunting it then…)
