Observation details

Greg Swick had told us about Charley Burwick finding a Roadrunner near Woodbury Ave and E. Crosswinds Ct. We drove around and around. (Charley even helped at one point but left before we found it.) We finally found the big bird at Wayland and Windsong, very close to Woodbury and Crosswinds. Such a delight. Even though I'd seen one a long time ago in New Mexico when I wasn't a birder, I consider this a lifer experience. Such close looks. We have a video. The neighbors in this surburban area were very friendly to us wierdos driving slowly around their Emerald Park community looking for this bird. Many actually talked with us about when and where they'd seen it. One showed us a photo he had. They seemed proud of their Roadrunner and glad to share.
