New Found Respect for Wile E. Coyote

[Michael]

There's a roadrunner that started hanging out behind our office last summer. He disappeared for awhile, but has been back for a couple of months. I've tried to get some good shots of him, but he's proven to be very elusive - as you might expect! He mostly hangs out at the back of our lot around/under/behind our trucks and trailers, but occassionally he'll run up to our office windows (we have two big windows looking out back) and jump up on the ledge. I've just missed getting a good photo of him a couple of times.

I shot this a few minutes ago. It's a little out of range for my 70-200, so I cropped just a tad, but it's the best I've been able to do so far. I think I saw Wile E. go under the steer tire just before I snapped the shot!

That's a cool little image Michael. Good luck in your quest to get some more shots.

Great pic! Love those birds. We have a pair that must be nesting somewhere in our neighborhood - almost every night I see either the male or the female in our yard. They are making a big dent in the lizard population! Been trying to get a pic but they've stymied me so far...

What is a roadrunner doing in Paris, Texas? Cool shot!

Love the shot. Were there any deliveries from ACME today?

Here's one where I just missed catching him jumping onto the window sill, right in front of Robert's desk. Oops!

[Michael]

This is the best I've been able to get of him, through the office window.

That's a great one, Michael!
