Coyote chasing this guy. The bird was so fast and he kept trying to hide from me. I had never seen a Roadrunner before, and I almost didn't get him this time. I know its not a great photo but I was excited about seeing this bird for myself. He is quite large with a long tail and big, sharp beak.Beep Beep.
This is in reference to an old USA cartoon.
As always click on the photo to enlarge
Oh wow, that is too cool!!

ReplyDeleteI love it! They are very interesting birds. I bet they are hard to photograph.
ReplyDeletej'avais jamais vu de vrai roadrunner. et il fait vraiment 'beep beep' quand il court ?
ReplyDeletesuperbe photo, cela ne doit pas etre facile a prendre.
I had ever seen of truth roadrunner. and it really makes “beep beep” when it runs? superb photograph, that should not be easy A to take.
He's got the speed I was dreaming of getting with the little yellow Nissan convertible on my post today.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost always fun to be able to do a bird photograph. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteyep, I do love the old cartoons and I think I heard the beep beep only in my head. Don't know what type of sound this critter makes.
Very good capture!
