Small bird, HUGE feet.

A sub-adult Comb-crested Jacana I spotted this morning at work. Its comb is now almost fully formed so it's pretty close to adulthood.

A Comb-crested Jacana standing on a different rock in a lake. bent forward towards the water. Its broken reflection can be seen below. It has a white body with brown wings, black shoulder stripe, a little buff on the sides of the neck, dark brown cap, but a red comb and shield on its face. The legs are pale yellow and the feet are about as wide as the body is long.

Southern Emerald-Toucanet


We were hiking along a trail in the El Dorado Nature Reserve when I noticed the weird shape of a tree trunk from the corner of my eye. Since I had learned to point my camera at everything weird, this toucanet looking out of a tree cavity greeted me through the viewfinder.
