If we were having coffee, I would tell you it is good that I managed a morning walk today when the temperature was still below 100 F. The only other people out were some gardeners and the pickle ball players. The slight breeze helped keep it cooler along with a smattering of cirrocumulus clouds. It felt good to move. I had gotten out of the daily walk habit when I was away from home last week.
I was thinking about the roadrunners as usual and had doubts of seeing them, but I spotted one up on top of a wall. And then there were two. I was unable to get a shot of them together. I did manage to get a photo of one climbing a tree again.
There is something that I did not notice when I was taking the photos. It looks like another bird in the crook of the tree. It is not moving. Could it be a dead bird that the roadrunner killed? If you click on the photos, you can enlarge them.

Great shots. Definitely a roadrunner in crook of tree.

I thought it could be a roadrunner too. Thank you, Cynthia.

Tough walking weather, Deborah. How early are you heading out? I guess the roadrunners are used to the heat. I’m not sure I could handle it.

I was out at 8 AM, which is early for me lately. It didn’t feel too bad. Even if it’s really hot, but dry heat, I still like it. I can’t walk for long distances in the higher heat though. I read that the roadrunners don’t need to drink a lot of water because they get it through their food. I don’t see them running around in the hot sun around here.

Our heat is not dry. Some days, it’s hard to walk when it’s in the low 80s because of the humidity.

We are supposed to get to 110 today. I just went walking this morning and it was 99 when I got home. Thank you, Dawn.

A morning walk sounds lovely. A morning walk with a camera sounds like even more fun. Thanks for the virtual coffee, Deborah.

Hmmm…interesting and a mystery…also, do roadrunners kill other birds?

Yes, they do. That looks like a pretty big bird too if that is what it is.

Hi Deb. Are roadrunners mean enough to kill another bird?
We don’t have them here so I know so little about them.

Yes, they do hunt birds, lizards, insects. I haven’t seen them get a bird yet myself or any lizards. I see them pecking the grass on the golf courses.

Loving the roadrunner! Hope there’s not a coyote around, too 🙂

There are coyotes in the desert, but I haven’t seen any around our complex.
