Photos: Pink Flamingos of Lake Bogoria, Kenya

Every year between August and October, Lake Bogoria turns pink thanks to the millions of flamingos that descend on it. Skilled Photographer Vincent Chepkwony visited Lake Bogoria to witness this mind-boggling natural phenomena. What a sight, absolutely beautiful.

According to the National Geographic, when a flamingo spots potential dinner—favorite foods include shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms called algae—it plunges its head into the water, twists it upside down, and scoops the fish using its upper beak like a shovel. They are able to “run” on water, thanks to their webbed feet, to gain speed before lifting up into the sky.
