Dancing the Desert Flamingo
Dancing the Desert Flamingo
Salar de Atacama, Chile
June 2017
When I think Flamingo, I don’t usually think desert, but here they are in midwinter in the driest place in the world. A couple days ago the largest snowstorm in a decade fell across the highlands (here that means more than 3,500 meters) and closed off most of the most popular attractions so we are stuck in the lowlands. That means that you have to get to places early which is why we’re lucky to be the first group to the Flamingo preserve. Even as we walk out along the salt encrusted paths the birds slowly strut away except for this specimen which seems remarkably interested in a piece of mud. I watch for ten minutes as he dances around what must be a particularly productive area for sea monkeys in the reflection of the Andean volcanoes.
