Wile E. Roadrunner
What, you ask, is the Greater Roadrunner, the State Bird of New Mexico, doing sitting on a fence?
It is hanging out, waiting for what it hopes will be its next meal to come to a bird feeder! I was unaware that roadrunners ate other birds until a couple of weeks ago. A roadrunner [...]
Broad-Tailed Hummingbird
August is the best time of the year for hummingbirds in the Albuquerque region.
The wonderful little black-chinned hummers come in the spring, and are the last to leave in the fall.

The two larger birds are house finches.
The cute little [...]

The Greater Roadrunner
This guy (girl?) is the State Bird of New Mexico. At least one family lives in my neighborhood, and they walk on the block walls, eat lizards in the woodpile, make very interesting sounds, and just entertain in general.
This one was sitting outside my bedroom window this morning, but I could not get a [...]
