Roadrunner

The roadrunner, a large ground bird native to arid scrublands of

southwestern United States and Mexico, belongs to the cuckoo
family, cuculidae. It measures about 58 cm (23 in) and has
brown plumage streaked with white above and on the throat
and white plumage below. It also has a bushy crest; blue and
red eye rings; long-spindly legs; and a long tail.

The roadrunner seldom flies, preferring to depend on its

swiftness afoot to reach safety when surprised. It preys on
small snakes as well as on insects, lizards, and occasionally,
the young of ground-nesting birds.
