Kuldlauk-lootoselind ehk kuldlauk-jassaana on niiske, troopilise
Ameerika lind. Neile meeldivad eriliselt sood ja rabad, kuid ka muud
mudased ja vesised paigad lähevad loosi. Elupaiga valiku tingib
toidulaud, kuhu kuuluvad peamiselt veetaimedel konutavad putukad ning
vesirooside õiepungad, kuid mitte ainult. Lisaks sobivad veel ka mudas
ja vees elutsevad teod, ussid, krabid, molluskid ning kalad. Fotod
tehtud Costa Ricas, Caño Negro märgala keskel asuval soisel heinamaal,
mis niiskel hooajal muutub madalaveeliseks järveks.
Northern Jacana is a bird of tropical America. Their favorite
habitats are swamps and marshes but other muddy and wet places will do
as well. The habitat preference comes from a diet - jacana feeds
mainly on the insects on the surface of vegetation and ovules of water
lilies. They will also consume snails, worms, small crabs, fish and
mollusks. The photos are taken in Costa Rica, in the middle of Caño
Negro wetland, on a meadow that is a shallow lake in the wet
season.
