Saw my first roadrunners today

March 29th, 2007

Last weekend while out bike riding the strangest bird ran across in front of us. He and the Mrs.have a nest in one of the trees along the bike path. She was in the nest feeding the little ones.

Turns out these guys are road runners. Just like the cartoon they are too cool.

They eat snakes, lizards and other assorted small reptilian wild life.
