This is the closest I've ever been to New Mexico's State Bird- the road runner. He stayed at the pool to let me take his picture for just a few minutes. And they really do just run!
Commenting a little late, just found the site. Roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico. Mockingbird is the state bird of Texas. Love the photo though. I was born in Tex. grew up in NM. Moved back to TX, married and had my kids, then we moved here to California, state bird is Condor now. LOL
hOW NEAT TO GET A PICTURE OF IT.

ReplyDeleteGreat shot, although he is much plainer than his cartoon cousin! (I have never seen a picture of a real one).
ReplyDeleteAnd I always thought that the road runner was a work of fiction! Learn something new every day.
