Observed the Roadrunner along with about six other birders yesterday. First saw it above the road almost at the top of the western side. Decided to hike over the ridge and see if I could approach it from above and get a bit closer for some shots. No sooner topped the ridge and there it was. Got some pretty good shots which you can see on my blog:http://birdsbybill.blogspot.com/2012/01/beep-beep.html
I observed it frequently pecking at the ground and around larger rocks, but couldn't tell what it was after. I certainly didn't see any insects on the ground. Also observed it doing some beak sharpening activity on rocks, and it took a quick dust bath while i observed, but it was behind some brush while it bathed. Probably observed it for a good twenty minutes, before the sun went behind Mt. Morrison.
