Just Follow Me

Flamingos can finally come outside for a bit at the Lincoln Park Zoo. They are such funny looking birds, but so elegant at the same time. This one seemed to be trying to tell the one behind to follow it back inside to have their dinner.

Cool shot

I wonder how fast these awkward but as you say, graceful birds move! Your focus is so good!
March 24th, 2014

Your is a wonderful zoo, and this, a delightful photo! I can't stop myself from taking pictures in zoos and arboretums...and you have both on the same property!

So lovely!

Lovely! Don't think I've ever seen them moving
March 24th, 2014  
Quite comical body language, if flamingos have body language at all. Anyway, its a fine photo with good positioning and an appropriate background.
March 24th, 2014  
they are such funny creatures, beautiful in an odd kind of way, not pretty but striking :)
March 24th, 2014  
Awesome picture.
March 24th, 2014  
Gorgeous capture. I love flamingos.
March 24th, 2014  
Wonderful capture - love the slightly superior expression one is giving and the "here we go again" look from the other.
March 24th, 2014  
It amazes me how their legs can hold them up. Love how we can see the different colours in tneir wings. He looks busy and adament!
March 24th, 2014  
Such terrific colours - they look much more at home when they are wading
March 24th, 2014  
Beautiful shot! Lovely colors! I love their "expressions"...they appear so arrogant!! Ha!
March 24th, 2014  
Great timing to get them framed so well and the wings spread :-)
March 24th, 2014  
Love it!!! Great capture of very cute couple!! Spring is coming???
March 24th, 2014

Super capture.
March 24th, 2014  
Odd but interesting birds. One does seem to be a bit bossy.
March 24th, 2014  
beautiful photos. I hope to see some of these when I go to Florida at Christmas.
March 25th, 2014  
I think they still look cold! Great shot!
March 25th, 2014  
Oh man, my son is going to LOVE this photo. He thinks flamingos are the coolest. This shot is awesome!!
March 25th, 2014  
@dolphin You're so right about the expression. He (or she) looked almost haughty and above the others, but then, so many of them seem to have that kind of a look to them!
March 25th, 2014  
I thought you had gone to Florida. But it's the tropics in Chicago. A lovely shot.
March 25th, 2014  
@khawbecker Heehee! What was interesting was to see them avoid walking on the ice that was still on the ground. They were only out a little bit and then all were sort of herded back into their inside enclosure.
March 25th, 2014  
@taffy Just like the federal employees in DC. Ha! Only out a little bit, but will be herded back in tomorrow by more snow.
March 25th, 2014  
Wonderful capture! the shades of pink are so pretty!
March 25th, 2014  
It does appear the front Flamingo is pointing the way. Great pic of these leggy pink birds.
March 25th, 2014  
@lyndemc Thanks so much! There were about 2 dozen of them in the area, but this couple really stood out.
March 25th, 2014  
Marvelous capture! Fav
March 26th, 2014  
I know what you mean! They do look a bit wacky and elegant at the same time! Nice timing catching him with his wings out!
March 27th, 2014  
FAV for sure!!!
