So I hear cooing yesterday, run outside, and there is the roadrunner we have nicknamed JUNIOR on the roof of our house.


Cool as a Cucumber as if he hadn't been missing in action for weeks!












It was great to see him. He sure must be busy with his little ones somewhere else ....

Sorry the pics get a little fuzzy when I zoom in.

I saw several roadrunners on my trip this month, they wouldn't pose for me when I stopped to take a photo! :(;)

dessert! He was nibbling on something!

yes, those roadrunners are quite skittish.

I find it so funny that Junior comes back to coo (marking his territory) after weeks and weeks. It would be so interesting to see the rest of the family.

Blanca, the 'nibble-thing' is what I was referring to... looks like he's got a mouse by the tail to me ! Can't tell for sure tho.

Here is what you do....


Play this song and Junior will Coo, Coo right back and as Bogie said, ""I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Although interesting in their own way , I don't have much use for them

The vibrating noise they make is from a high frequency clicking of their beak

They also use this movement to macerate their prey

Our yearly family has been cleaning up all the dead bees kicked out of the swarm that lives in the big oak tree down in the arroyo

However , there is hardly a lizard left in the yard and the little quail babies have been suffering greatly

KaceyJ - while Jr was around there was not one NOT ONE roach around our house. How I loved this! I abhor roaches and Jr. was my h e r o.

Because we are the last house on the edge of town, totally surrounded by desert, he could eat lizards all day every day and never ever even make a dent, but I hear you about the birds....I would be sad to see quail babies disappearing.

I am so glad he nixed living in our garage but I really enjoy seeing him around.
