flamingoes @ the flamingo

Flamingoes, Flamingo Las Vegas

A few tourist photos of the flamingoes at the Flamingo Las Vegas. We were actually there mostly in search of parrots, but no such luck, possibly due to the extreme heat that day. The signs asserted that the parrots were away while their cages were being polished, but I didn't see anyone actually polishing any cages. So I'm going to chalk that up as silly PR -- unless the cage polishing team was on break when we were there -- union rules, and all that.

Flamingoes aren't really the most fascinating of birds unless you're an avian taxonomist, and they seem to spend much of the day sleeping, and they don't do much in the way of mugging for the camera. But they do have a certain visual appeal. And since I've been semi-typecast as just a photoblog, a mere source of transient visual stimuli, I think I'll just step aside and let you enjoy the photos, or not, or whatever.
