A common exhibit in zoos, the flamingos are quite recognizable. Unfortunately only four of the six species are now represented in North American collections; James' and Andean are no longer kept.
I did note that Chilean, being from colder regions, was more prominent in collections in the Northwest, Rockies, Great Plains, and far Northeast. American was more common in the Southwest, Texas, and Southeast. Greater and Lesser both were mostly present in more southernly collections, but some outliers in the North were noted.
As usual, only information from June 2016 forward was used, and corrections and additional information is welcomed.
