Since we have moved here - we have seen roadrunners constantly! Well the boys and I always seem to think its the same one - but there has to be more than one right?!
This morning Levi was out bright and early and spotted our feathered friend clos eup to the house! He came in to tell me and of course asked the typical great questions like:
What do roadrunners eat?
How can we keep them around?
Do they mate for life?
What do their eggs look like?
So here we are in front of the puter together reading about roadrunners!
WOW! Great birds! I never knew! And we are definitely going to find a way to keep them around!
1. They eat rodents and bugs
2. They eat snakes and scorpions
3. They mate for life
4. They coo and clack
5. They lay yellowish eggs - many apparently!
6. They build really big nests - low or on the ground - we will have to be on the lookout!
7. Did I mention they eat snakes and scorpions!!!!???
Sooo - we are on a mission to make our place ROADRUNNER friendly! We will let you know what happens!
Happy Sunday everyone!

They look so cool, but when we lived
in Grand Prairie, our young cat got outside
and was attacked by at least one of them..they ripped him open from one end to the other.
I do like the idea that they eat snakes and scorpians...one thing I do not miss about living in Texas.;-)
