Great photos of the roadrunner--it's easy to tell why they're so fast.
Great pix of the strange symbiosis and the roadrunner (I love 'em, probably because I don't see them often).
What did you do for a career before you retired, Packrat?
You often know when a Roadrunner is near, Scott, because they make an interesting "clucking trill" noise that's distinctive. Listen to the very end of the "call/rattle" audio and you'll hear what I mean:

I was a college English teacher before quitting to pursue a career as a freelance writer.
Thanks for the roadrunner call link and your reply about your former life, Packrat. Kali teaches university-level English composition, but she also manages the university's learning support and tutoring services.
