EDITORS COMMENTS
Move over, ducks! The 'Moorhen Marvel' steals the show in New York!". In this print by John Cancalosi, we are introduced to the charismatic CAN-2145, also known as the Common Moorhen Male. This dapper bird may resemble a duck at first glance, but its vibrant red frontal plate and yellow-tipped chicken-like bill make it stand out from the crowd. With its flanks elegantly edged with white and wings entirely dark, this feathered fashionista knows how to make an entrance. Whether feeding along the edge of open water or seeking cover in dense vegetation when disturbed, our Moorhen Marvel effortlessly navigates its surroundings. But what truly sets CAN-2145 apart is its unique talent – walking on lily pads! Yes, you read that right! This avian superstar not only swims like a pro but gracefully struts across lily pads as if they were his own personal runway. And let's not forget about his vocal prowess. With a hen-like cluck that can be heard far and wide, our charming Moorhen Male has no trouble making himself heard in any conversation. So next time you're strolling through New York's wildlife havens or simply admiring nature from afar, keep an eye out for this extraordinary creature. The 'Moorhen Marvel' is here to remind us that sometimes it takes just one bird to steal the spotlight!
