More Jacanas... this time the Pheasant-tailed Jacana from India, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia. It is sedentary in much of its range, but northern breeders from south China and the Himalayas migrate into peninsular India and Southeast Asia. It is also resident in Taiwan, where it is considered endangered. It feeds on insects, other invertebrates and seeds picked from the floating vegetation or the water’s surface. This is the only jacana to have a different breeding plumage and is easily identified by the striking white plumage from head to breast and by the long sickle shaped tail during the breeding season. As with peacocks, the tail feathers drop and it returns to normal size after breeding season. The Pheasant-tailed Jacana is capable of swimming, although it usually walks on the vegetation.
