For #AudubonDay + #InternationalFlamingoDay: Pl.431 American Flamingo, 1838. Audubon insisted on illustrating every bird in The Birds of America life-size, including this one, but even using the largest paper available he still had to cheat the pose a bit to make it fit, swooping the neck down in a U-shape.
