Why it matters
The Northern Jacana is remarkable for the long, slender toes and claws that allow it to walk across floating aquatic vegetation, distributing its weight so it does not sink. Native to wetlands across Central and South America, this bird is also known for the bright yellow wing patches visible during flight, a striking contrast to its otherwise dark plumage.
