Chilean Flamingoes flying over the Andes.jpg

Flying in the Andes at the submit on the way to Cusco. Altitude was at 12,900 Feet.


Amazing to see flamingoes in a snow storm. Never thought of them as a cold weather bird.

Terrific shots Peter, I certainly didn't think that Flamingoes and snow would ever be seen together!
