Roadrunner and fake mange show




Wow -
So this is the second time I have seen this. The first Roadrunner I saw was all ready in its mange position - looking very sickly and plucked and if I were an animal thinking of eating it I would think twice. I was feeling sad for it and wondering if Roadrunners could get rabies? Then today I saw the real show...It was on the other side of the ditch doing its thing and then it saw us and plumed out its feathers like this in all directions. What a great show! Then it ran away...

correction -
Just did some reading - The Great roadrunner as its called does this strange move to warm the dark feathers underneath the light ones, so it was not scared, just cold.
