range east of the Andes, but it reaches its northern limits in Panama. There are apparently two forms, not separated by location, but rather by \u201cpopulation\u201d. This is the black-backed variety. There is also a chestnut-backed variety that looks more like a Northern Jacana. Both have the distinctive red \u201cwattle\u201d above the yellow beak, and the yellow underside of the wings\u2026as well as the bright yellow bone spur or spike at the angle of the wing. The theory is that the spike is used for defense. You can see the spike in the photo with the wings extended. We saw Jacanas everywhere from our small boat on the Panama Canal, walking on the water plants in the shallows. We were able to drift up quite close. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 1000 and 640 @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-15715\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=15715&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-15715\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=15715&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=15715&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wattled Jacana: Panama Canal, Gamboa, Panama (near Canopy Tower), July 2022 \u2014 The Wattled Jacana is primarily a South American bird, with a range east of the Andes, but it reaches its northern limits in Panama.
