One of my favorite parts of visiting the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge is the drive up to Sandy Point picnic area. As you get near the point, there's a stretch where we almost always see a roadrunner. Greater roadrunners are not a common sight around here so I'm always excited to look for this one.
Yesterday was not a disappointment! The roadrunner showed up and wandered around the road in front of us for a good quarter mile. He even stood still for me to take photos of him (from the car).
I think this is my favorite photo of him. He's looking back over his shoulder like he's checking that I'm still watching:
