Friendly Roadrunner crosses my path
Its always a treat for me to see a Roadrunner in Arizona. I have seen many Roadrunners and it never gets old. This guy was pretty mellow and allowed me to follow him up to a cactus that he perched in. I took a series of photos and created a gif that shows him raising his feathers. I also captured a short video that I will post on LBRY later. I sometimes see them eating lizards and insects depending on what opportunities cross their way.
The baby's are pretty ugly looking when they first hatch and I have only seen one nest with babies in it a long time ago. If I ever find another nest I will be sure to get some photos. Its been hot as hell her lately, but that is not unusual for this time of year. We all just wait for the monsoons to replenish water and keep the native plants and animals alive.
What do you think of Roadrunners?
This Roadrunner is beautiful and the cactus is amazing. It's a great idea that you created the gif that shows him raising his feathers. Great capture and well done!
I do hope you will have monsoons soonest to keep the native plants and animals alive.
Looking forward to watching your short video with much interest.
Glad you like the Roadrunner @tangmo , they are a truly a unique creature.
I totally agree with you.
