This little guy was cruising around in my backyard. Fortunately I have very large windows in my back room, so I managed to snap these photos without spooking him. Roadrunners are very fast...as you know...beep!beep!vrooooom!
This bird was particularly fat compared to some. But then, I have about 30 quail and 25 rabbits in my back yard every evening and they all seem to be very fat this year. However, it is getting to be snake time around here with the cooler evenings. They are looking for warm places and sometimes that just happens to be the sides of my house. So, I am having to be a little more careful about letting my dog out in the evening. Let's hope I don't post pictures of snakes next!

I think I will show my students what a roadrunner is.
Thanks for sharing

Nice pics - your daughter would be proud of you. (And better to have pictures of the snakes than be surprised by them!)

We used to have these near our house in Southern California, long ago. I remember that they used to eat the catfood we put out...
I think snakes are beautiful, at a distance. I'm not that crazy about ones that are close to me, but as long as they don't get too close, they're fine.
