A Series?

I've read that if you save 3 or more of any one thing it's called a collection.
Now that I've just finished my third Flamingo painting I'll call it a series ... I've lived in Florida and never painted them before.
This is my latest one, and the other 2 are somewhere below.
 Although I've seen many in person, this  one was a photo from Wet Canvas.  
It will fit in an 18x24" frame, done on Arches 140lb. c/p  paper. I've used a mix of brown madder, new gamboge, rose madder . Background was mostly from Indigo,  touch of alizarin, and new gamboge, but very little water.  BJ
