We are lucky to live in a place that is infused with birdsong. A couple of days ago we were visited at the library by a roadrunner.
Have you ever heard a roadrunner’s call?
If not, and you’d like to, click here.
And in the abandoned metal building just uphill from Wildflower House, a canyon wren has made its nest. [As it turns out, that canyon wren doesn’t have a nest there; I guess it was just visiting.] Here you can listen to the wonderful call of the canyon wren.
The roadrunner is a really cute little bird…and I like how he sounds.
I agree! And we say that if a roadrunner runs across your path, it’s good luck 🙂
I loved listening to the Wren and Roadrunner calls-wow, so pretty. Roadrunners are so impressive–so strong and fast; nice photo!
Thanks, Jen. When I saw this roadrunner, it made that clacking sound but not the cooing sound. I really like that clacking thing they do 🙂
Thanks for that!! I have never heard a real roadrunner before. In fact I have never seen a real live roadrunner. I guess I live too far north huh?
We are lucky to have them here. Yesterday I saw two of them!
You’re right–I don’t think they’d take kindly to your (10-month-long) winters!
