[[Image:Jacana-bw.jpg]] '''Common Name:''' Bronze-winged Jacana <br> '''Scientific Name:''' Metopidius indicus '''Size:''' 11 - 12 inches (27-30cm) '''Habitat:''' Asia; breeds in India and Southeast Asia. It is sedentary apart from seasonal dispersion. Floating vegetation in the shallow lakes that are their preferred habitat. '''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global population:''' 50,000 to 100,000. The species is locally threatened by wetland degradation and loss through flooding, drainage and overgrazing. '''Diet:''' Insects, other invertebrates and seeds picked from the floating vegetation or the water’s surface. Nesting: Females are larger than males but look alike. Young birds have brown upperparts. Their underparts are white, with a buff foreneck. Females lays four black-marked brown eggs in a floating nest and males incubate the eggs. '''Cool Facts:''' The call is a wheezy piping ‘seek-seek-seek’ given mostly in alarm. When forced they sometimes choose to hide by submerging themselves. The male may carry chicks between the wings and body. '''Found in [http://hivewire3d.com/songbird-remix-jacanas.html Songbird ReMix Jacanas]'''
