Roadrunner - on the road - just where one would expect to see him. I love that bit of iridescence at the tip of his tail feathers.
This Roadrunner liked this spot and made several jumps from the same position to take what I considered a lookout position at the top of the tree. Roadrunners are difficult subjects without the aid of a blind and water to attract them. They are quite fun to watch as they skitter around like they own the place. Well, I guess they do1. (Greater Roadrunner - Geococcyx Californianus) (Sony a1ii, 70-200 lens @ 193mm, f/4.5, 1/4000 second, ISO 1600)
This roadrunner was on the back patio just a few feet from the door. Got several shots through the glass before it was on it's way.
Meep meep! The Greater Roadrunner is a member of the Cuckoo Family. Very tough birds. Geococcyx californianus
Roadrunner. Sonoran Desert, southwest of Tucson, AZ, USA. A member of the cuckoo family. No crop. My side yard.
We encountered this roadrunner while hiking through the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona. It flew into a mesquite tree near the trail.
A few days ago, I had an unexpected visitor in my yard—none other than a roadrunner! To my surprise, he stood by my door as if to say, "Come on, take my picture!" I couldn't resist the invitation, so I grabbed my camera and took plenty of photos of this charming and bold feathered guest!
This roadrunner will appear out of no where on this 5 acre property and at neighboring homes to snag a bite to eat when it sees me. It is really fun to interact with the several roadrunners around here and my two very smart “pet” put still wild ravens.
This silly cuckoo decided the dogs & I posed no threat & was quite interactive. I’d hear it around the yard for a couple of days, but yesterday it decided to introduce itself. It’s welcome to hang out.
Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) catching insects in the grass in Falcon State Park, Roma, Texas. Capable of running 30 miles per hour (48 kph), but doesn't fly often.
I took this and the other photos in this south Texas bird series as a participant in Brian Loflin's South Texas Bird Photography workshop.
This guy gave me plenty of photo opportunities, normally they are fast moving and hard to catch up with. Taken in Las Vegas Bay Campground in Nevada
This is such a good lens. I was able to a pretty good crop to show the detail of this beautiful bird.
Continuing my national park wildlife series with this Greater Roadrunner found in Saguaro National Park, Arizona.
This species has a smaller cousin, appropriately called the Lesser Roadrunner. The GR is found in southwestern U.S. states and a large swath of Mexico. The LR is not found in the U.S. but in much of Central America.
Probably on the lookout for a coyote! Saw this Greater Roadrunner in a farm field this evening. Note the crest is slightly raised.
This greater roadrunner was sitting on a small hill watching the world go by, including noisy sandhill cranes and a red-tailed hawk.
While much is made of its speed and ability to outwit coyotes, roadrunners are also capable of capturing and consuming rattlesnakes, dodging the venomous reptile's rapid strikes and piercing it with its sharp slightly hooked bill.
