Roadrunner! And Finch!
5/18/2012 - Wabbaloo
We have frequently seen roadrunners traipse through the yard with no respect for human presence, flaunting their latest catch of lizards. Today was no exception. Right there on the little walkway between the hummingbird/butterfly garden and the sitting area/container garden. I couldn't get the camera in time to get a good pic, so I went out the front door and anticipated he'd be on the side or back of the house. Saw him fly up into a cedar tree, make his way to the other side, and hop down into the neighbor's back yard. I was able to get a pic of it against a fence, but it's just a pic of him from behind. I was surprised that he didn't just walk through the high grass into the next yard. Maybe he knew I was following him. First pic is looking at him (in the neighbor's yard) from my yard:
Next is a crop from the above. Unfortch, we only have a "beautiful" rear view of him, so you mostly make out the tail and that's it. The camera will be placed near the window from now on.
As for the finch, no picture, unfortch. Saw him fly out from a shrub in the front up to a Crepe Myrtle as I was walking by with the Pookaloo. We do have a feeder out in front, but don't see a lot of traffic. We've just planted two new Monterey Oaks in the back, though, and may put some feeders there.
As always, comments/suggestions welcome.
