ROADRUNNER NESTING SEASON

It has rained 3 inches in the past 24 hours, but my resident Greater Roadrunners have been at work, in the rain, full time, catching insects in the Magdelena Drive Green Belt and guarding their nesting territory.  They raised 4 healthy insect, snake, and rodent scavengers last year and I trust they are equally successful this year. Next week should dry out and warm up and I expect the Roadrunner hen to lay her eggs.

Here is the female from last year, taken from 2 feet away while she made sure I didn't touch her fledglings.
