Road Runner Family

Today, a road runner came exploring our front yard. He(she?) took about an hour to check out everything, even coming on our front porch. Later, he(she?) ran down the driveway when I came outside, and I saw another one fly in the opposite direction. Maybe a family, maybe not. This road runner made funny/odd gargling sounds as it strutted around the yard.

Oh, and we have a 6am natural alarm clock. Seems some macho cardinal likes to fight his reflection in our windows (did we mention we have LOTS of windows?). He starts at 6am and goes until around noon, as the sun moves through the sky until there is not so much of a reflection.

Any way here is a picture of the road runner (the best picture out of about 50). The other road runner picture posted earlier was not my picture. There is also a 2 minute video of the road runner walking back and forth in the front yard. However, the movie is 35mb, so won't go here.
