Life bird

Heard he was there while we were still in Florida. He waited for us to get back to Texas. Today we drove to 75 acre lake at Choke Canyon State Park. At the southwest corner of the lake, other side from us, walking on the plants on the surface of the water, black and chestnut bird, yellow underwings, yellow shield on his forehead. Northern Jacana.

Tropical bird. Rare for the U.S. He doesn’t come here every year. 200 mile round trip for us.
We didn’t get a good picture. Here are a couple pictures someone else took though:
