I was checking the bird feeders frequently this afternoon to gauge the activity of nuisance House Sparrows and Starlings (I just set the feeders back up on Monday before arctic airmass hit). Lo and behold, I check out the window and see a freaking Roadrunner just across my property. The Roadrunner was walking toward my backyard, as if wanting to check out the activity at my bird feeder. I quickly grabbed the camera with 600mm and snuck outside. By the time I got outside, it was still roaming around the perimeter of my garden near my young Arborvitae and pine trees. This bird has been hanging around the neighborhood all fall, but it is the first time it has actually set foot in my yard (that I can confirm, at least). Awesome!!
