EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness a fascinating sight - a Greater Roadrunner employing its unique temperature control technique. As the arid Southwest sun shines down on this large-crested terrestrial bird, it cleverly erects its feathers, allowing direct sunlight to strike its black skin. With an air of confidence and nonchalance, our roadrunner friend demonstrates why it is such a common sight in scrub deserts and mesquite groves across Arizona, USA. Known for seldom taking flight and preferring to stay grounded, this bird has mastered the art of basking in the sun's warm embrace. As we admire this incredible creature from behind, we can't help but marvel at its sleek silhouette against the backdrop of North America's mesmerizing landscapes. The vibrant colors of nature come alive as our feathered companion enjoys some well-deserved sunbathing time. Eating lizards, snakes, and insects might be on their menu; however, today it seems that leisurely soaking up those rays takes priority for our fashionable roadrunner model. So next time you find yourself yearning for some relaxation under the sun like a true American icon – take inspiration from CAN-3372 and let your feathers fly high!
