The James's Flamingo is a smaller species of flamingo found in western parts of South America. It is a non-migratory species, breeding and wintering around alkaline lakes of the Andes mountains. It is also known as the Puna Flamingo.
The James's Flamingo is considered to be Near Threatened. Threats to their wetland habitat from mining and tourism impact the species, although the population is trending stable as of April 2018.
