The Pheasant-tailed Jacana is a jacana in the monotypic genus Hydrophasianus. Its breeding plumage is characterized by elongated central tail feathers that give the bird its name. It is the only jacana species that migrates long distances and breeds on floating vegetation during the rainy season monsoon, from June to September. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
