Flying Color
Greater flamingos lend texture and subtle color to the shallows of Walvis Bay in Namibia. The birds live and feed in flocks: In a group, individuals are protected from predators while they bury their bills in mud and water when feeding. They owe their pink hue to the shrimplike crustaceans they favor. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
