A flamingo in a pool at night.

April 23, 2026 | Night Swim

In this image from our February 2020 issue, a flamingo takes a nighttime swim in a saltwater pool on Curaçao island in the Caribbean. The story highlights the sanctuary of Odette Doest, where 90-some other animals reside—about half of them permanently. Flamingoes regularly end up there, injured by fishing lines or stray dogs.
