Greater Roadrunner
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.- jmorlan

A calm pose with tail slightly cocked and crest flattened. This iconic ground cuckoo of the arid American Southwest paused for a photo from the window of our car. The colored eye markings are bare skin known as the postorbital apterium. It is mostly blue in females as seen here. Males also...- jmorlan

In a typical pose with cocked tail, this iconic ground cuckoo of the arid American Southwest paused with crest raised, perhaps on the lookout for small reptiles.

Roadrunner begging
The challenge was, keep her at least 23 ft. back, my minimum digiscoping focus distance.. they learn begging quickly in touristy areas of Arizona, and she seemed a little intimidating to me, a stranger to those parts. The desert made a lovely even background.- Forcreeks

Roadrunner, avoiding the roads!
I have seen literally hundreds of roadrunners driving around these Mexican back roads, and still feel that I have not gotten "That One" image...this one is pretty close. I was sitting on a water hole, way out in the La Paz desert, shooting Xanthus's Hummingbirds when this Roadrunner...- Thomas P Brown

Climbing to new heights - Greater Roadrunner
We ran across this Road Runner way out in the middle of some very dry, almost barren desert area. While the Roadrunner is for the most part pretty common here, what made this one so unique, was that he was nearly 30 feet up in the air, on top of that Cordon cactus!- Thomas P Brown

Busy at work today. I'll have to catch up on browsing later. Just taking a quick break to post farewell images of three of my lifers from that trip to NM. One more lifer for a first and final post tomorrow, then it's back to Norwegian birds for a while.- Doc Duck

Finally! Proof that I've actually been in New Mexico :D There was one stretch of the tour loop through the Bosque that we on one of that morning tour seminar (the one with the morning cranes and the resting owl) learned to call "Roadrunner Alley". One was reputedly a patient poser, but...- Doc Duck
