Peet walked right in front of my storm door and called out. I grabbed the camera and headed outside not knowing how many, if any, pictures I was going to get. He surprised me with quite a show! He was calling and I was talking back to him and he came within 25 feet of me. :cool:
what beautiful pictures, epic, in fact!
Mimi, I can just see you do a watercolor study of him. He has such interesting colors. :cool:
Oooh!
That eyeshadow is spectacular!

Detail of his head. It's magnificent!

Calling out and searching for a fellow roadrunner
Very cool pics! Roadrunners are fascinating birds, we had one that hung out in our driveway in Tucson, he (she?) was a hoot to watch.
I like Peet on the rocks, very cool. I wonder why he is so mellow, they never seem to stick around here?
I do too, Aggie. I've never seen a roadrunner that let's me get as close to him. He's not afraid of our dogs either.
Peet is a big bird. His body is about the size of a cornish hen! :eek:
Pax, did you get very close to your roadrunner? :)
About six feet was as close as we got. Our house sat on an arroyo so I think we were in his hunting grounds, he would drink from the garden hose if I let it drip a little, since he came by around the same time each day I tried to always let it drip a bit.Quote:
