The Mournful Cry
Male roadrunners have a song they use both to attract a mate & to let other males know he has claimed this territory. It sounds so sad. And a bit like a dove. He is doing it in this photo. It is how I know this is a male. You can hear the song here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Greater_Roadrunner/sounds
