Identification
Jacana spinosa (northern jacana)
Caption
Here's a sample of the Northern Jacana (Jacana spinosa) Breeding Display (Costa Rica). These recordings were made in the marsh 10 miles north of Quepos (Costa Rica), where the Jacana breeding season was in full swing. These guys are very interesting birds, lots of ritual behavior, and lots of vocalization. For a good primer on these fascinating and beautiful birds, take a look at Godfrey Jackson's Jacana pages.
