Superb capture Maria. The other day a watched a video on youtube how one of these birds take on a rattle snake , kill it and devours it. It was so amazing to watch the video. Here is a link to the video clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IvM3NJ_2fA God bless.

Great shot. "Wile E. Coyote: Now then, I can easily understand why it should puzzle you that a person of my intelligence, I.Q. 207 super genius, should devote his valuable time chasing this ridiculous road runner, this bird that appears to be so skinny, scrawny, stringy, unappetizing, anemic, ugly and misbegotten. Ah, but how little you know about road runners. Actually, the road runner is to the taste buds of a coyote, what caviar, champagne, filet mignon and chocolate fudge are to the taste buds of a man."

A really nice bird, an excellent capture. I wonder if he really run as fast as his colleague from the cartoon?

ROFL!!!!! Every once in a while, one of these guys makes it this far north. It is always a surprise and delight to spot one. Fantastic capture!

Fantastic capture of this beautiful bird; I love that straight-up tail! They are so fun to watch, I used to see them in the desert when my folks lived there.

Meep meep? You've got to be kidding with this shot! I always thought that the Roadrunner was just a mischievous cartoon character. In any event, a fine photo of the rocket propelled avian with the long 45-degree tail, Maria.
