Jacanas, also known as Lotus Birds or Lily Trotters, are fascinating creatures found in various parts of the world. In Sri Lanka, a male Pheasant-tailed Jacana can be seen diligently tending to its nest. The intricate balance between nature and nurture is evident as this beautiful bird cares for its young. In an old black and white photograph taken at London Zoo in August 1927, an African Jacana stands gracefully on grass. This timeless image captures the elegance and poise of these birds even in captivity. Traveling to Queensland, Australia, we encounter the stunning Comb-crested Jacana. With its vibrant colors and unique crest atop its head, this species adds a splash of beauty to any landscape it inhabits. Semuliki National Park in Uganda provides a glimpse into the foraging habits of the African Jacana. These resourceful birds navigate through wetlands with ease as they search for food. Kakadu National Park in Northern Territory, Australia is home to another variety of Comb-crested Jacana. Known as Lilly Hoppers or Lotus Birds, these avian wonders hop across lily pads effortlessly while displaying their striking plumage. The Pheasant-tailed Jacana showcases its breeding plumage while standing on mud at the edge of water. This adult bird exudes confidence and grace as it navigates through its natural habitat. Bundala N. P presents us with yet another breathtaking sight - a Pheasant-tailed Jacana standing confidently in shallow water. Its vibrant feathers glisten under sunlight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle for all who witness it. Finally, we observe a Wattled Jacana soaring over wetlands in Trinidad and Tobago during April migration season. Its flight displays both power and agility as it traverses vast distances during this time of year. From Sri Lanka to London Zoo; from Queensland to Uganda; from Kakadu National Park to Bundala N. P.
