When I was out for my 2 hour morning walk on Saturday, I heard the clucking of a roadrunner. At first, I couldn't see him, but he emerged from the shadows and I spotted him. I took these photos and then noticed another roadrunner nearby. The two of them ran right in front of an oncoming car (..."road runners"), which is typical behavior of them. We used to have a family of roadrunners in our neighborhood years ago and the male used to chase my little cat, Daisy, down the street! I would often see him with a lizard in his mouth. I haven't seen them for several years now, nor the quail that used to live around our house...too many cars and too many houses now. So, I'm always pleased to see roadrunners in the desert! :-) Wild Bird Wednesday for February 13, 2013. To visit Wild Bird Wednesday, please go to:
