Too cool. Up until now, the only "road runner" I'd seen was the one my dad brought back from a vacation (it wasn't real... it was wooden ). It sat on our mantle for years! He never made a sound, by the way!

Yours is actually a cute little bugger. Who knew he'd be so deadly? Good to keep around the house from the sounds of things, as long as your bird feeders are WAY up high.

I made the mistake (only once) of feeding the birds on a flat surface not covered. It took all but 20 minutes for me to find a falcon feeding on one of the poor little birds I had baited for him. That was awful. Beautiful falcon, though. As soon as he had, well, finished his meal, I headed out and cleaned up all the birdseed in the area and hid it into a feeder under the covered porch areas. Lesson well learned the hard way.

Thanks for sharing your great photos!
