Roadrunner
August 18, 2006
We have been both concerned and disappointed that we haven’t seen more Roadrunners this past spring and summer. Great watching, normally we have two or three in the yard, even walking the furrows of the garden gleaning tomato worms. They’ll eat insects, lizards and small snakes – raid nests for small birds and eggs – they’ll eat damn near anything. With the quail having such a prolonged hatch after such a wet spring, perhaps they’re out making a living like this one high in the Greasy Creek watershed.
