ROAD RUNNER


I am not the only photographer in the family. On a recent trip to Arizona, my wife captured a few very nice photos that I have been wanting to post. A foot of snow on the ground seems a good time to reminisce about warm places.




Beep Beep

Anyone who was ever a child recognizes the ROADRUNNER Geococcys californianus from his cartoon antics with Wyley Coyote.

The Road Runner is actually a member of the Cuckoo family Cuculidae and does not have a clue about going "beep beep". It's call is a series coos, not unlike a cuckoo, in addition to a wooden clatter produce by the bill.

He lives in dry open habitat in the SW U.S. and Mexico and feeds on small snakes, lizzards and insects.
