The Roadrunner was observed by myself, Mark Amershak, Edward Donnan and three other birders from 12:30-1:30 actively feeding in the area between CR93 and Alameda, not on the ridge as usual , on the grassy slope down the hill from Alameda. When first seen the bird was sunning on a light colored rock for 10 minutes give or take and then became very active zig zagging up and down the slope pecking at grass clumps and around Yucca plants. One gentleman that ventured down to get better photos said the bird appeared to be eating earth worms and small grasshoppers. At one point near a tuft of grass the bird plucked something from mid air, possibly a grasshopper.
