I have been known to be impulsive, and today was one of those days. As I was coming into the RV Park where I've been staying, I noticed a road runner walking along. They walk because they prefer it and can reach top speeds of 15 MPH - by that time, they're running - fast! This guy was wandering around aimlessly, so I pulled the truck over, put on my flashers and grabbed my camera. I got out as quietly as I could and started stalking him.
By the time he went in someone's yard, I decided I'd better not follow. There were a couple people out for their daily walk and as I walked back to my truck I figured I should let them know what was going on. Obviously, they hadn't seen the bird. When I told them it was a road runner alert, they grinned and told me they were wondering what I was doing, leaving my truck and walking around with my camera.
Such a cool critter! I just love these little birds. And this is why I always have my camera with me.
