I love Roadrunners! Perfect place for the Channel 4's Henry!

I get to watch them every day...great fun, because they're really quirky birds.

They abound out here in the Coachella Valley - when we did the remodel thing to move out here as our permanent home, we made sure to leave the back portion of the yard open to not lose one iota of the view, and all of the beep-beeps, quail and dove we see every day.

In Yucaipa had one in my backyard every morning and back every afternoon. Really funny if the sprinklers went on when he was there. Dog used to lie on the patio watching him moving around the backyard but never chased him.

Really love to watch them -- they just make me chuckle as they run around.

I spent a week in Palm Desert once at a convention. I couldn't believe the gorgeous colors on the rocky mountains at sunset & sunrise. I always thought that if one had to live in a desert, that would be the place. (then I ended up in Palllllmdale, what a shock that was)

But now I'm out of the tracts and into the Mohave. I'll take more pics tomorrow. We don't see roadrunners much, but a couple of quail families live here, and cottontails. I hear coyotes out in the distance some nights.
