Résumé :	Flamingo distribution is fragmented by the discontinuities across the soda, salt lakes and lagoons they inhabit. Their good flight performances allow them to track and exploit resource pulses whenever flooding allows the development of their favored preys. Here, we review recent knowledge on flight behavior, navigation, dispersal and migratory behavior of flamingos. We show that even if nomadism is an important feature of the way these species explore their habitat, flamingos also exhibit structured movements such as dispersal and migratory movement which are shaped by individual factors (age/experience), environmental factors (dry out/flooding) and density dependence.
