    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.

    oh, how come he is so well posed for you? I never got the chance to photograph this bird since whenever I see him, he always move so quick away from me :(

    beautiful pictures,Diane

    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.
