    An alert pose with tail cocked and crest raised. This iconic ground cuckoo of the arid American Southwest seemed to be following me. The colored eye markings are bare skin known as the postorbital apterium. It is mostly blue in females, but males such as this also show a bit of red or orange.

    Greater Roadrunner in a Juniper Tree

    I saw this guy yesterday on my back wall, but when I got out there he meandered over to a juniper tree and seemingly hopped up into it. I walked around it, at a distance, looking, but couldn't for the life of me spot him. A bit later I was recharging the hummingbird feeders and thought I saw...

    We occasionally get Roadrunners in our garden, hunting for geckos and small birds. They will hide in the bushes near the bird feeders hoping to catch something. We were sitting on our patio, about 6 yards (5.5 m) away, and it stopped, looked at us for a few seconds before jumping up onto the...

    A member of the cuckoo family and probably the most iconic bird of the U.S. southwest. Unfortunately, I have not heard any of them say "meep meep" yet. Their usual call seems to be a mournful "cooing" sound, almost like a dove.
