About this species
The American flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is a large species of flamingo native to the West Indies, northern South America (including the Galápagos Islands) and the Yucatán Peninsula. It is closely related to the greater flamingo and Chilean flamingo, and was formerly considered conspecific with the greater flamingo, but that treatment is now widely viewed (e.g. by the American and British Ornithologists' Unions) as incorrect due to a lack of evidence. It is also known as the Caribbean flamingo, although it is also present in the Galápagos Islands. It is the only flamingo that naturally inhabits North America.
It is a cultural icon for the U.S. state of Florida, where it was formerly abundant in the southernmost regions, although it was largely extirpated by 1900 and is now only an uncommon visitor with a few small, potentially resident populations.

美洲红鹳（学名：Phoenicopterus ruber），又名加勒比海红鹳，是一种大型的火烈鸟，与大红鹳及智利火烈鸟是近亲。牠们与大红鹳以往被认为是同一物种，但现已广泛否定这个说法。虽然牠们又名加勒比海红鹳，但其实并非分布在加勒比海，而是有分布在科隆群岛造成误会。
美洲红鹳在科隆群岛、哥伦比亚海岸、委内瑞拉及邻近的岛屿繁殖。牠们也会在墨西哥的犹加敦半岛、巴哈马的加勒比海北部、伊斯帕尼奥拉岛、古巴及土克凯可群岛繁殖。在美国科罗拉多州南部也有见到牠们的踪影，但一般都是走失的。牠们是唯一一种天然分布在北美洲的火烈鸟。
美洲红鹳喜欢栖息在潟湖、潮泥滩及海岸和内陆湖泊的浅水区。牠们于5月至8月会在泥丘上生一颗蛋，蛋呈白垩色。孵化期为28-32日。双亲在幼鹳6岁前都会负责哺育，幼鹳到了6岁就达至性成熟。估计牠们的寿命可达40岁，是中最长寿的鸟类之一。
美洲红鹳长1.2-1.4米，雄鹳重2.8公斤，雌鹳重2.2公斤。其羽毛大部份都是粉红色的，而大红鹳的则会较为淡色。翼底是红色的，主飞羽及次飞羽都是黑色的。牠们的喙呈粉红色及白色，尖端有点黑色，脚完全是粉红色。其叫声像鹅的鸣声。
美洲红鹳是其中一种受到《非洲-欧亚大陆迁徙水鸟保护协定》所保护的物种之一。
