Jacana jacana

Least Concern

The Wattled Jacana is a shorebird of Central and South American freshwater wetlands. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
