The Roadrunner
We sit in the car quiet as mice watching the ducks in the ponds. It is a cold early morning.While we watch a chilly roadrunner comes out of the long grass and sits near the road, watching us. I have never seen a quiet roadrunner. Usually they are speeding here and there on long legs, almost a blur, always in a hurry. This one watches us watch him and seems curious and unafraid. Here are some close photos of this interesting bird.
