This Roadrunner was one of two standing symmetrically on low walls
flanking the entrance to a residential driveway in lower Miller Canyon, near
Sierra Vista, Arizona, in August 2008. I only wish I could have captured
the two of them in one image, posed as they were like guardian statues.

Roadrunners are rare in Santa Clara County where I live, especially right around the bay on the valley floor. This one showed up in Alviso in the bayside Marina parking lot in September 2004, and I was able to photograph it, roadrunning no less, my first image of this amazing species.
