Waking up at 5am is never fun, but when the rising sun casts a soft glow through the Namibian coast, you go looking for #flamingoes With this, we’ve basically reached the end of my Namibia adventures. I can finally share what I’ve been up to in the #PublicLands of Southwestern USA this past summer!

Author Ian Fleming was a birder.

He even named his fictional spy after esteemed ornithologist James Bond, whose influential field guide “Birds of the West Indies” is still in use today.

In March 1956 Fleming joined a birding conservation expedition to Great Inagua, where I took this photo, today.

A while ago, I learned that there's a flamingo species called the "lesser flamingo". Which made me wonder: which asshole taxonomer gave that bird its English name? I mean, other animals are called the great white shark, the giant panda, the emperor penguin, the king cobra, the Goliath birdeater... and then there's the "lesser flamingo"? What did that poor bird do to deserve that?

#DYK? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go. The world's largest flamingo colony can be found in Tanzania, where 2 million+ birds have been observed. #Birds #Flamingoes #museums
