North American Bird Search Box

There are at least four types of flamingos found in the world and of these there are also sub-species pertaining to some of them. The Greater Flamingo is the only one seen in North America and is found in the wetlands of Florida. The West Indies have a very similar looking bird known as the Caribbean Flamingo. The Eurasian Flamingo is found in the southern area of the continent that is likely a sub-species of the Greater Flamingo and is identified by its pink and black bill. The Lesser Flamingo is found in Africa and is identified by its bright red bill but none are native to North America. The Chilean Flamingo is recognized by its white and black bill and lightly coloured pink plumage.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
