Late Roadrunner
I went out later than normal on Monday night, and almost didn't find the roadrunners. I had pulled up alongside another photographer, who hadn't seen them either. He went west, I went east, and all of a sudden the adults showed up. This one stretched while hunting in the late evening light.

Well done. Where does he hunt that the grass in mowed? :smile:

I really like this shot Rob because you can see the various feather markings so well. I can't wait to see one where your panning with the roadrunner while its moving at full speed! :smile:
