Pool Party in the Desert - The Feathered Divas of Sonoran!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by John Cancalosi, we witness a rare moment of pure bliss as CAN-3417, a charming Mourning Dove, indulges in an impromptu spa session. Bathing gracefully in a temporary pool amidst the arid Sonoran desert of Arizona, this common wild dove proves that even plump fast-flying birds need some TLC. With their small heads and low-cooing voices, these doves have always been known for their modesty. But here they are, flaunting their feathery elegance while enjoying every splash and dip! As if choreographed to a secret rhythm only they know, these beauties nod their heads with each step they take – truly nature's synchronized swimmers! Eager to maintain impeccable hygiene standards, our avian friends waste no time cleaning every single feather meticulously. Their grooming routine is nothing short of mesmerizing; it's like watching them create art on canvas using water droplets instead of paintbrushes. This delightful scene reminds us that even in the harshest environments like the Sonoran desert, life finds its way to celebrate joyfully. So next time you find yourself near a temporary pool in this breathtaking region or any other part of North America for that matter - keep your eyes peeled for these fabulous doves who turn bathing into an extravagant affair!
