    We've made many trips to the southwest and rarely see these. I would have thought they would be too shy to pose, Having a dramatic red as a background color is bit disconcerting though.

    Howdy Gary,

    WOWSER< Roadrunners are one of my Favorties,
    and I love the red background,
    plays so well off the red of his head colors.

    We've got a breeding pair on our little place, and love seeing
    them cruise through. They are pretty secretive Critters.

    Very Nicely Done!!!
    Take care,

    Craig

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I love the red background. Really makes the bird's natural colors pop. You got a nice bokeh, too. Well done, Gary.

    Meep-meep!
    What I said when I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time: "The wide ain't wide enough and the zoom don't zoom enough!"

    What a terrific shot! We are fortunate to see many birds in Florida a Roadrunner isn't one of them. Thank you for sharing! :D
