About This Item
Synopsis
In his latest photoessay, Bruce McMillan explores the lives of the Greater Flamingos, the world's largest and most colorful of birds. These magnificent creatures inhabit the desert-like Caribbean island of Bonaire, fifty miles north of Venezuela. The author shows graphically, in words and pictures, how Greater Flamingos have adapted to their seemingly inhospitable environment, how they raise their young, how they come by their brilliant coloring, and convert salt to fresh water for drinking. Here, with vibrant photographs and wondrous detail, is a testament to the beauty and adaptability of this wonderful bird in its wild and natural state. In his individual style, Bruce McMillan weaves together the wonders of nature with fascinating facts, creating a story about one of our rarest and most unusual birds.
