One of my readers mentioned that she's never seen a roadrunner...
...(as mentioned in the last paragraph of this post) so I found a delightful home movie taken by the father of the author of a group of journals primarily about Arizona wildlife called The Firefly Forest. The video is in this post. It's like a thumbnail sketch of the life of a roadrunner. In case the birds move too fast for you to get a clear view, (although, if they do, you need to get your eyes checked) here's a still picture of what one of our roadrunners looks like with a rundown of facts about the birds. My favorite is the note for fans of the cartoon (I'm a fan, too) that roadrunners do not go "beep, beep", followed by a link to a recording of real sounds of roadrunners.
