Roadrunners on the road

The stripe behind the eye is more noticeable during breeding season. Breeding pairs mate for life.
On a weeklong adventure to a niece's wedding in Amarillo, we saw roadrunners in Lake Brownwood State Park and Copper Breaks State Park. And, yes, they they were on the road.

We also saw a coyote (sorry, no pic) during the trip. But there was no sign of any Acme equipment.

Roadrunners are omnivore ground foragers. They eat insects, reptiles (including rattlesnakes), small mammals, fruits, seeds and eggs.
Roadrunners can reach 20 mph; coyotes are faster.
