My favorite feathered visitor - always!

My first Roadrunners of the season!

I was hoping I'd see a Roadrunner this year - last year I don't think I had any good shots - and I've had four different Roadrunner sightings so far, once in another site and three times walking through my site on it's way to the wash.  I think I must be on a Roadrunner walking trail.  :)

These are all the decent photos I've gotten so far:










And my last Roadrunner shot for today:



I'll get more.... and I'm hoping to get better shots, too.

From me and Katie, have a great Thursday, everyone!  :)

  2. Terrific photos! I remember watching the roadrunner cartoon and never dreaming that I'd one day see them up close, or see so many photos of them.

  8. Really nice roadrunner photos. They are interesting birds. You'll have fun watching them. If there are mockingbirds around, the mockingbirds will attack the roadrunners as roadrunners will eat baby birds.

  9. Not sure how your pictures could be any better. Would you please make sure he's around when I get there because it's been forever since I've seen one.

  14. I saw 3 roadrunners last year. Two running away from me and one from such a distance that my camera took a photo of a blur. Lucky, lucky, you.

  15. They are hard to photograph because they are always on the move and VERY alert to movements. You are very lucky, great shots.
    I love when they run and stop. It is: body stretched flat out, stop, and up goes head and tail like a big V.
    Very funny.
