" Scientific paper excerpts based on personal observations and measurements "A lot of birds busied themselves on the waterlilies, primarily the wattled jacanas that don’t seem to mind the heat. They traveled in and out just like human traffic, but none of them interfered each other: the hawks and vultures circled the air, the little birds had their areas in the bushes... everything was in perfect order."
