.................As far as I can Tell I've got atleast 2 pairs of sitting Roadrunners with nests on the south end of my 5 acres here in north Texas. They are supposed to be very accomplished Snake killers so I have tried to give them as much space as possible. Besides they are one of the most interesting birds around. I would guess that they range all over the southwest and maybe all along the gulf coast but I'm not sure. Was trying to get a feel for how widely distributed they really are.........fordy... :eek: :)
I used to see them all over West Texas from Amarillo to Snyder to Midland/Odessa. Last one I saw was in Parker Co. when I went to visit a friend in Weatherford. Little dickens tried to outrun the car down the country road. We had a hard time keeping up with him until he veered off the road and disappeared into the brush and cacti.

Love 'em! TXlightningbug
