Parra Sinensis (Pheasant-Tailed Jacana)

About this work

This bird stands alone on a flat surface, its long legs splayed out behind it. Its feathers are mostly dark brown, but its chest and head are white, with a bright yellow patch on its face. The beak is black, and the tail feathers are long and pointed, almost like a fan. Below, a small sketch shows the bird in its natural setting with other birds and plants. The name *Parra Sinensis* is written at the bottom, which is Latin for "Pheasant-Tailed Jacana." This bird is known for walking on lily pads in wetlands.
