We were at a rest stop today among Interstate 10 when this handsome road runner darted across the dog area. I guess it should be labeled “dog and road runner area.” The species in this picture is called Geococcyx. I think they look like prehistoric birds, but here he is. Click on the image to enlarge.

    That’s exactly what the Damsel said when it ran in front of the SUV. We both laughed at that.

    Hi, What a great shot. Must have had nimble fingers and a quick reflex. Best wishes, Ernie

    Thanks, Ernie. I took several shots as the bird trotted by the SUV. This was the best one.
