Never a dull day in the desert! One of our goals was to photograph a Great Roadrunner. We had been looking high and low with little success. This one came to us!! Beep! Beep!

The theme of crazy Tuesday for 4/26 is car details. This is the spot on the steering wheel that you press to activate the hornβ¦.

Hmmmm, I posted this earlier and when I looked at the groups listing, Crazy Tuesday wasnβt there. Did I do something wrong? I reposted it just in case I inadvertently did something. Going to go check the tags and the comments. .

Roadrunner
Sweetwater wetlands
We made the rounds today. Started at Silverbell Lake and ended up at Sweetwater. Good day of birding.
Tucson, Arizona
Managed a quick trip to the beach in order to see if California is OPEN yet. Most coastal access remains closed, with all parking areas blocked.
But I found this Guy racing around a rest stop, and managed to get a shot before he raced off.
For a generation of viewers, the familiar βbeep, beepβ of Warner Brothersβ cartoon Roadrunner was the background sound of Saturday mornings.
(Although commonly quoted as "meep meep", Warner Brothers, the current owner of all trademarks relating to the duo, lists "beep, beep" as the Road Runner's sound, along with "meep, meep." )
Despite the cartoon characterβs perennial victories over Wile E. Coyote, real-life coyotes present a real danger to Roadrunners; Coyotes can reach a top speed of 43 miles an hourβmore than twice as fast as roadrunners.
Roadrunner can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake, and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest. Roadrunners reach two feet from sturdy bill to white tail tip, with a bushy blue-black crest and mottled plumage that blends well with dusty shrubs. As they run, they hold their lean frames nearly parallel to the ground and rudder with their long tails.
Roadrunners have evolved a range of adaptations to deal with the extremes of desert living. Like seabirds, they secrete a solution of highly concentrated salt through a gland just in front of each eye, which uses less water than excreting it via their kidneys and urinary tract. Moisture-rich prey including mammals and reptiles supply them otherwise-scarce water in their diet. Both chicks and adults flutter the un-feathered area beneath the chin (gular fluttering) to dissipate heat.
Roadrunners eat poisonous prey, including venomous lizards and scorpions, with no ill effect, although theyβre careful to swallow horned lizards head-first with the horns pointed away from vital organs. Roadrunners can also kill and eat rattlesnakes, often in tandem with another roadrunner: as one distracts the snake by jumping and flapping, the other sneaks up and pins its head, then bashes the snake against a rock. If itβs is too long to swallow all at once, a roadrunner will walk around with a length of snake still protruding from its bill, swallowing it a little at a time as the snake digests.
Based on banding records, the oldest roadrunner was at least 7 years old.

Gosh so many photos to go through still from my trip - I was like a lunatic with a camera on day release - everywhere I went - snap, snap, snap - middle of the day - snap, snap, snap. Some places on this planet you will go and regardless of the light/time of day - who is taking the picture etc - the place just shines through the photo regardless of your ability(or lack of ;)).
A week before I arrived at Monument Valley I met a lady at LAX who was 85 and was a photographer and she was on her way to Colorado with her camera bag clutched to her chest as she got on the plane. She told me that the first time she saw Monument Valley - she just cried for a few minutes as it was so beautiful and magical. That is the sort of effect this wondrous place has on you - this is a destination you must all put on your bucket list if you have not yet been.
