My wife called me to come look. I never know what that is going to mean so I went in trepidation. It turns out that she was looking out a window and watching “her” roadrunner. He was back after being gone for a few months. And he brought a “friend”.
I thought I would look up “roadrunners” and see if she was solid in her belief that they ate snakes. What I found really interesting was that the Latin name for the greater roadrunner was Geococcyx californianus. Evidently that translates as “Californian earth-cuckoo”. I think that maybe we should replace the bear on the state flag with a roadrunner. Or perhaps we could print California bonds for the high speed rail with a picture of Moonbeam Brown with the title of “California earth-cuckoo”.
I still have not found out if they eat snakes.
