The little Road Runner tried to be cooperative & let me take photos of her (Gerald thinks it is female). She was looking for lunch when we happened along not far from where we saw the Barred Owl last evening. If you click on the photo to enlarge her, you will see some very nice coloration around her eyes. The bottom photo is of a bend in the Colorado River about a mile from our house.
We had a lovely morning looking at birds. Gerald received his birthday present a bit early and we were trying it. I bought an iPod for him and downloaded bird calls, specifically screech owl calls. When the screech owl sounds are played in the wild, birds begin to flock around to see where the owl is located. As we sat on a log Cardinals, Ladder-back Woodpeckers, Kinglets, Wrens, & Chickadees came to see who was in their woods. I didn't get any photos of these birds.
As I said, it was a lovely morning.
