more Peet pics

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.

Mimi, I can just see you do a watercolor study of him. He has such interesting colors.

Detail of his head. It's magnificent!

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!
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.

Oooh, I hope I can get that close to him. We've been separated by glass when he does get that close.
