I haven't seen such a bird? before. I bet it was fun trying to capture his pictures. ;-)

Oooh, good captures, in all facets!

Lindy said...

Any bird that can take on a rattlesnake is okay in my book! Really like the reflection capture. Excellent!

Great post! Roadrunners are so changeable. The first time I saw one all puffed up I couldn't figure out what it was.

Joanne Olivieri said...

Never saw one in person but this is just as good. Great shots.

The roadrunner photos are wonderful! The roadrunner with it's reflection formed a nice shape. The roadrunner in the first photo looks funny. I like the quotes. Many years ago I read an article about roadrunner in an old National Geographic magazine. It's an interesting bird.
