I was surprised to find
so little lining in the nest.
Other nests showed good
lining of plant material
and snake or lizard scales.

Rivoli seem to do this.
I also shot a fine Dichthium
Rige in prime condition.
Josi got me another Burd
Kingfisher a male not yet
in full man plumage.

marsh settled a couple
of fresh Jacana sit and

A very small percent of
Jacanas now have eggs. One
set I found was just hatching.
The young when just out of the egg.
