Very nice images, Ken. I have yet to see one of these birds outside of a zoo.

Thanks for y'all looking and comments. Dennis Wiley was nowhere to be seen. John thses are another of thos elusive creatures to photograph. This on I had driven by and then backed up and he stayed still and moved slowly and I was able to get these shots.

Great shots. I haven't seen the Road Runners that were nesting near my house in quite a while. Never did see any babies either, though Mama I Papa were busy gathering food for a while. I hope they'll come back. Princess & I miss them.

Excellent post! You captured this one well, even better eating a juicy meal.

Ken, Great shots! It is so cool to see one of these guys. I don't see them very often. And to catch one with a meal is really special.
