Ameerika redulind, Heliornis fulica

Ameerika redulind on troopilise Ameerika veelind, kes on eluviisilt üpris arg. Elutseb ta soodes ja rabades, hoides ujudes võimalusel taimestiku varju. Redulinnu eripäraks on see, et isaslindudel on tiibade all taskud, milles ta transpordib oma poegi. Vajadusel nii ujudes kui ka lennates. Tegemist on unikaalse lahendusega, mida pole ühelgi teisel linnuliigil. Fotod tehtud vihmasel Frio jõel, Caño Negro märgalal, Costa Ricas.

Sungrebe or American finfoot is an aquatic bird of the tropical America that is quite shy by nature. Its habitats are usually swamps and marshes where it keeps itself in the protective cover of vegetation if possible. The unique feature of sungrebe is the fact that the male bird has pouches or pockets under the wings where it can carry chicks. During swimming or even flight. That is the feature that no other bird in the world has. The photos are taken on a rainy Frio river in Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica.
