Roadrunner Sightings

In all the years I have lived and traveled in the southwest I have never seen a roadrunner. They are common, they are people-curious and friendly, and everyone in my book group has seen them, often. I have not.

So I bought one. 

On our recent trip to Tucson we got a metal roadrunner at a gift shop and I brought him home.

Since bringing this one home, I have had multiple sightings, mostly in the living room and on the fireplace hearth.

But he's also been seen on the kitchen half wall, curious about dinner preparation.

And there was this somewhat disturbing sight when Jim put his glass of wine down, but nothing was amiss when he returned. The glass was still there, the wine still in it.

Now I finally have frequent roadrunner sightings and I can finally call myself a true southwesterner. So there.
