Wildlife on the Greenbelt... Part 1

There's a lot of wildlife along certain stretches of the Greenbelt. Whenever I get a chance, I'll try to share some of what we see. Often, there are quail, rabbits, heron, roadrunners, and ducks.

Last weekend, I caught a photo of this roadrunner - one in a pair.


Take a close look and you can see it was carrying a small lizard in it's mouth.

And no... He didn't go "MEEP MEEP" or "BEEP BEEP" and was neither preceded nor followed by a Wiley Coyote.

    They used to run across the railing of our deck at our first house in Fountain Hills. I thought they were cute until one of them destroyed a doves nest and ate the eggs. They are related to cuckoos, I hear.
