Title: Feeding Flamingo at Laguna Chaxa

Description: An Andean flamingo demonstrates its specialized feeding technique in the shallow waters of Laguna Chaxa, Chile. With its distinctive downward-curved bill, the bird filters microscopic organisms and algae from the mineral-rich waters of this Atacama salt flat lagoon. This feeding behavior is essential for the flamingo’s survival and gives the birds their characteristic pink coloration from carotenoid-rich food sources.
