I will be in the Bahamas next week for about 10 days on work. So I have to the weekend to explore. While doing the routine research on Google, found out that Inagua National Park has one of the largest concentrations of Flamingos. I couldn't find out if they nest there or if they are year round residents. If someone has an answer pls let me know.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Flamingos at Great Inagua a number of years while in College. It is indeed the breeding grounds, and it's a bit of a hike through the mangrove swamps to get to them. However, the blisters are well worth the sight of thousands of Flamingos :cool:

BTW, depending on where in the Bahama's you will be, it's not likely to be a mere weekend trip. Great Inagua is one of the Southern most of the out Islands, quite some distance from Nassau.
