Bird: American Flamingo, by John James Audubon.
This flamingo is really in the pink.
The artist who made the picture spent most of his life watching all kinds of birds and drawing them in their natural environments.
- Can you tell where the home is for these birds?
The big flamingo in the foreground bends its spindly legs and lowers its head to the water.
Trace your finger along its curving neck.
- What do you think the bird is doing in this funny position?
