The Happy Hunter...OT

[Wally Dickerman]

There are a couple of road runners that I see often near my home. This guy had just caught a lizard and was happy to show it off. They are really a hoot to watch. Very aggresive hunters. However, a mocking bird hangs out in a Palo Verde tree nearby and drives the road runner off it it gets too close.

Thanks for the photo. The only roadrunner I have ever seen was being chased by a coyote. ;)

Cool photo.

I'm with Brian on this one... Does the mockingbird use acme explosives and rockets?

Well, I doubt that the coyote caught him...the roadrunner can fly, though it seldom does. I've seen them fly across a brushy wash. I've even seen them up in a tree. Surveying their hunting area I suppose.

That's a great picture Wally. We have a few RR's in the neighborhood and get to see them once in a while.

Does anyone else see the very strong resemblance to the latest artistic renderings of velociraptors? It's easy to see the shared heritage there.

We have been going to Az. for the last 6 years. Four times already this winter, but have yet to see a road runner. Pretty disappointing. Before each trip I tell my wife "this is the time", but has never happened. I'm beginning to believe they are along the same lines as the Sasquatch, and UFO's. Sure there are people that say they have seen them, but......

Pretty neat Wally, thanks for sharing the photo. No roadrunners in Maine, only coyote and they're a real pain in @$$%!:)
