23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A band of Lesser Flamingos
The photo captured from Tarut Mangrove Island Dammam. Based on information about flamingos in the region, the Greater Flamingos usually migrate to the coasts of Saudi Arabia, including areas in the Arabian Gulf near Tarut Island, during the winter months (roughly November to March). They are attracted by the warm climate and rich feeding grounds.
