Roadrunner in Tree - Wed. Wings

Greater Roadrunner - Prescott Nat'l Forest

This is not the clearest of pictures, but I was surprised to see this Roadrunner taking advantage of  height in trees to survey the area:)

 I don't remember seeing these birds (our area) last summer, or perhaps I  missed the migration window. So I was pleased to see them and get photos.Their orange color,wing beat, and call are very easy to distinguish from the other hummingbirds.These fierce little Rufous Hummingbirds have temporarily displaced the Anna's hummingbirds at the feeders but the Anna's still manage to sneak in a drink or two before being run off  :)
