The James's flamingo (Phoenicoparrus jamesi), also known as the puna flamingo, is named after Harry Berkeley James, a British naturalist who studied the bird. The rarest of the family Phoenicopteridae, it populates high-altitude wetlands in the Andean plateaus of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. The James’s Flamingo is the smallest of the three flamingos of the Andes – the Andean and the Chilean are the other two.
