Believe it or not, there have been multiple sightings of a Roadrunner on the Bruce Peninsula. From the top of Tobermory down to the Hepworth, Sauble Beach area, at least four independant sightings have been made of a fast-running crow-like bird. One individual, a retired Texas A&M professor, familiar with seeing Roadrunners in their native Texas , is convinced that he saw such a bird east of Sauble Beach last Saturday. The mystery Road Runner sightings have been picked up by the local Owen Sound Sun-Times daily newspaper which has ran two separate stories on this strange visitor. While several local birders believe that what has been seen is a Ruffed Grouse or a Wild Turkey, there have been enough sightings to suggest that something right out of the cartoons might be lurking around the backroads of the Bruce. Unfortunately, as yet, no photographs have been taken, but stranger things have happened.
