THANKS to Dave Waltman for these photos. Bob Shade went back to the roadrunner site on Dinosaur Ridge to retrieve a water bottle and saw the bird again, this time foraging in plain sight for 15 minutes. He got great photos, and we are now trying to get them onto someone's photo site. You can see the roadrunners Toenails. Wish I had lost my water bottle. I will be going up there daily, especially on Saturday, meeting at 11:30 AM, Stegosaurus parking lot, despite the predicted cool and snowy weather. It would be fun to go as a group. Parking slots are few in number on Alameda, so please let me know if you are going tomorrow, so we can run a shuttle again if we need too.
