EDITORS COMMENTS
Quack or Cluck? The Enigmatic Moorhen Reveals its True Colors!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness the fascinating world of the Common Moorhen in all its glory. This male beauty may resemble a duck from afar, but upon closer inspection, it showcases an extraordinary combination of vibrant hues and quirky features. With its bright red frontal plate on display and a yellow-tipped bill that could easily be mistaken for a chicken's, this feathered fellow knows how to stand out from the crowd. Its flanks are elegantly edged with white, while its entirely dark wings add an air of mystery to its persona. Living up to its name as a water-loving bird, our moorhen friend can be found gracefully feeding along the edges of open water bodies. However, when startled or seeking refuge from prying eyes (perhaps paparazzi?), it skillfully disappears into dense vegetation like a true master of disguise. But wait! There's more! Not only does this dapper avian swim like an Olympic champion but it also possesses the remarkable ability to walk on lily pads – talk about defying gravity! So next time you're strolling through New York's wildlife havens or simply admiring nature prints at home, let CAN-2142 transport you into the enchanting realm of our feathery friend – where quacks meet clucks and vibrant colors steal your heart!
