that they are able to find on this floating vegetation as
they are very active and seem to spend practically all
their time feeding, which would lead to the conclusion that
their food is secured in very small morsels or else they
require a great amount of food.
_Behavior._--P. L. Jouy says in a letter:
When standing in reeds or sedge they frequently stretch the
neck up straight on the lookout. They also have a curious
habit of extending the wings and raising them up over the
back until they meet. This, I suppose, is a kind of signal,
the green of the primaries being conspicuous for a long
distance when in this position. On wounding one of these
birds I found that it was a very fair swimmer, and when I
overtook it, it dived, to my astonishment, with as much
confidence as a grebe, and I never saw it again.
Mr. Gillin writes:
On three different occasions I had wounded birds submerge
themselves about a foot below the surface of the water for
several minutes before I could locate them and secure them
by hand. They clutched whatever was available with their
feet and from above looked just as comfortable under water
as a quail or grouse would be crouching in the leaves of a
briar patch.
_Voice._--Mr. Jouy says that “these birds have a noisy, cackling voice
when they take flight.” Mr. Gillin refers to their note as “a plaintive
call of alarm.”
_Fall._--In September he found them “in flocks, flying around and
feeding on ponds where” he “was sure that they had not bred.” The
records of this form in Texas and the West Indian form in Florida were
probably due to such post-breeding wanderings.
DISTRIBUTION
_Range._--The Mexican jacana is found in Mexico and the lower Rio
Grande valley in Texas. The range extends north to Sinaloa (Mazatlan);
and southern Texas (Brownsville). East to Texas (Brownsville);
Tamaulipas (Alta Mira, and Tampico); Vera Cruz (Jalapa, Alvarado,
Tlacotalpan, and Cosamaloapam); Tabasco (Barra de Santa Ana, San Juan
Bautista, and Teapa); and Quintana Roo (Cozumel Island). South to
Quintana Roo (Cozumel Island); Chiapas (Tonala); Oaxaca (Zanatepec and
Santa Efigenia); and Guerrero (Acapulco). West to Guerrero (Acapulco);
Michoacan (Lake Patzcuaro); Colima (Rio Coahuayana, and Manzanillo);
Jalisco (Zapotlan, Ocotlan, and Guadalajara); Nayarit (Tepic, San Blas,
and Santiago); and Sinaloa (Mazatlan).
In October, 1899, a specimen of jacana was killed on Pelican Bay,
Lake Okeechobee, Fla. (Mearns, 1902); and H. H. Bailey (1925) reports
another seen by his father in Osceola County, Fla., in March, 1911.
The first of these has been tentatively referred by Ridgway (1919) to
_Jacana s. violacea_, a race found in Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, and Porto
Rico.
_Egg dates._--Northeastern Mexico: 68 records, April 25 to August 15;
34 records, May 28 to July 13.
