Greater Roadrunner


Latin name:  Geococcyx californianus
Spanish common name:  Correcaminos Mayor

Mr. Roadrunner is frequently seen around the garden area.
He can disappear faster than you can imagine; hates to fly; and can look at you with a gaze that absolutely asks: 

Just who are you and what are you doing in my desert?
