African Jacana Actophilornis africanus
Lake Awassa, Ethiopia
13 January 2014
There is something inherently appealing about jacanas as they teeter around lily pads on their outrageous feet, often lifting their wings to stabilize their balance. I never tire of seeing them and this juvenile African Jacana was photographed at the edge of Lake Awassa. Adults were there also; unfortunately none within camera range.
