The Comb-crested Jacana is a highly distinctive, medium-sized waterbird (body length 20-27 cm), with long legs and exceptionally long toes that allow the bird to walk on floating vegetation, which may sometimes be partly submerged, giving the impression of the bird walking on water. This gave rise to the common name of Jesus-bird or Christbird. The Comb-crested Jacana is mainly olive-brown above and white on the underbody, with a black cap and upperneck, a white face with a golden tinge, a broad dark band across the breast, and a large red fleshy comb on the forehead and a red bill. The legs and feet are grey to olive-green, and the eyes orange. Comb-crested Jacanas can be seen singly, in twos or groups or flocks of various sizes, on a wide range of freshwater wetlands. They are busy and unmistakable as they walk on lily pads and other floating vegetation. In flight, their long legs and feet extend noticeably past the tip oif the tail. Its strident piping and twittering calls are also distinctive. CANON 5D, CANON 500MM LENS & 1.4 CANON EXTENDER.
