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)
Roadrunner. Sonoran Desert, southwest of Tucson, AZ, USA. A member of the cuckoo family. No crop. My side yard.
A 20' X 40' Recycled Roadrunner Statue found on Interstate 10 rest area in Las Cruces, New Mexico. From a distance you can clearly see that it is a roadrunner. As you get closer you are amazed to see what it is made of. Zoom in on both pictures to see the details.
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!
A small, rare, bright green parakeet endemic to New Zealand. Recognized by its yellow crown and the thin red band that stretches to both red eyes between the crown and the base of the beak. Found in large native forests on the mainland, on the Auckland Islands, and on offshore island sanctuaries. Usually detected by its rapid chattering call within the tree canopy. Forms small flocks in autumn and winter. Similar to Malherbe’s Parakeet, but look for brighter green plumage, red frontal band, and crimson rump patches instead of orange. Smaller than the Red-crowned Parakeet, lacking red crown. (eBird)

We were nearing the end of our trip before we found this lovely little parakeet hiding in the dense canopy. As with the related Malherbe's Parakeet, we had to go to a small island to find it, but luckily this time we got to disembark at a proper dock rather than climbing down a step ladder.
Ulva Island, Southland, New Zealand. March 2024.
Roadrunner Birding Tours.
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.
Probably on the lookout for a coyote! Saw this Greater Roadrunner in a farm field this evening. Note the crest is slightly raised.

An old photo, but one I like. This was taken on a scouting trip for my CBC that year. Unfortunately, I didn't see a roadrunner during the actual CBC despite seeing this one.
Escondido, San Diego county, CA.
Running through Bluebonnets. Maybe he heard Wile E. Coyote.
The shot before this is a better closeup.
Surprised by a Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) actively hunting. In Tonto National Forest, Arizona, US.
Male Roadrunner having his lizard, running around, calling for a mate but she has never shown up. No one knows if there was even a female in the area. But this poor guy keeps doing it because Spring is just beginning, mating season for most birds.
Press Z for detail.
Our roadrunner pair was hunting around the pond close to the house. I got some really great images. This is the male as he wondered a little bit into the grass looking for a meal. They were not concerned that we were out there. I guess they are becoming familiar with us.
