Aka Lotusbird.
With its long legs and oversized feet, at first glance the Comb-crested Jacana appears particularly ungainly. However, anyone who has watched one nimbly picking its way across precarious platforms of floating aquatic vegetation would disagree. Similarly, those strangely elongated appendages would seem to render any attempts at long-distance movements problematical. Again, this is incorrect. They have been occasionally recorded as making very long distance journeys.

This is from my archives, it was a dull day.
So i decided to experiment & add some frost to it ,

Late in the day, from a campsite in Comb Wash, the light was leaving the cottonwoods but highlighted Comb Ridge.
Bears Ears National Monument
or Knob-billed duck ( Sarkidiomis sylvicola ).
I saw this rather unusual duck at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre , Gloucestershire , England. Its normal habitat is in the tropical wetlands of South America . The fleshy appendage (knob) is only on the male bird & can become larger during the mating season !!!!!

The shelling was good over the weekend. I came home with a another bagful myself. Have a great 4th everybody.
A small abandoned cabin in the valley below Comb Ridge was surrounded by a fence. Today, the fence acts as a tumbleweed catcher. Wilbur is almost hidden by the pile on the right side of the image.
Happy Fence Friday.
Lasts three months and produces a good-sized basket of dog fleece.
One of the models doesn't know I'm taking a picture.

This was one of my target species for eastern Australia. A delightful little wader with enormous long toes and feet to enable it to stand on floating vegetation, hence their nickname, Lily-trotter. Females are the dominant sex in this family and are much larger than the males. The females maintain a territory with 3-4 males and they lay eggs in each male territory for them to bring up. Judging by the size of this bird, it is a male.
