I had to drop my SUV off at a local shop for some work this morning, and I had some company for part of the one mile walk back to my apartment...

And not once did I hear him say "meep-meep". :D
 
Nice pic. Been a while since I've seen one of those!

Actually, a pretty grainy crop from a cell phone photo, but he was walking the same direction as me on the other side of the street, so I couldn't resist trying to grab a few snapshots. I saw what I'm guessing was the same roadrunner in the same neighborhood a week or so ago, so chances are we'll cross paths again. :thumb:
 
wow big thanks from me for the pic.
Thats totally new to me. I knew they were real but had never looked em up. Gonna have to look them up i only know them from the cartoons. That must have been a cool experience Vaughn.
Looks like its around 18 inches or so?

Yeah, anywhere from about 18 to 24 inches is typical.

The roadrunner is the NM state bird, but growing up here, I never saw a lot of them, and when I did, it was never in town. Kind of a treat to see this one just strolling down the sidewalk in the middle of town.
