Meep-Meep has had it!
He is tired of the cat and mouse game.
He wants his close-ups damn-it!
He doesn’t understand why I take photos of all these lesser Holler birdies, when I have him to chase and catch a glimpse of.
So he just decided to show us all what we’ve been missing.
You have to admit he is one glam bird, he has a moveable mohawk!
I had been hearing this coyote pup cry early every morning, so I went in search of the abandoned pup, and this is who I found, the roadrunner making a completely credible repetitive coyote cry. I answered his cry and we had a morning symphony. His cry is like the second clip in the following link which gives some, but not all of the amazing vocalizations of these fascinating birds.

We have several groups of roadrunners living inside our fences at The Holler and we interact with, and hear them everyday. A guest kept telling us about hearing growling outside his window at night which alarmed him enough to close the window, and yep that was roadrunners too. They also bark, and make a whirring noise. I imagine they imitate coyotes to confuse them, smart meepers!
Cheers to you from The Holler’s communicative and highly entertaining Meep-Meeps~

How charming and beautiful. All this beautiful birds around 🙂 I started to believe, it not a dream or fairy tale, its true <3
Yes, I am surrounded by wildbirds, and I couldn’t be happier. I am so glad you like the roadrunners. They are like pets to us! <3
Wow! I had no idea how stunning the road runner is. Full glam is right! Great captures!
This is why I named him Brad Pitt. 😉
LOL! I have a cat named Johnny Depp!

Cindy is a photographer I’ve followed almost from the time I joined WordPress. I have traveled quite a bit through her and seen beautiful things!
Awwww, you are a special soul Belinda. Thank you my dear friend and cheers to you~ <3 <3
Huge smiles and hugs of gratitude for all the places you take me and all the beauty you gift to me through your travels.
The gratitude flies back 2 U X 2! <3
I’m painting this bird. How did you get so close?
The only logical, scientific explanation is that he wanted some close-ups! 😉
Yes, I believe that this is correct.
😎
The roadrunner is intriguing! I am smiling now!
Yay!! Your comment just made me smile! Happy Sunday Christy~
Hi Cindy, nice to see this post full of birds. I think we have to love them because they are God creature as well. Have a nice day!
Yes I think so because just seeing them makes me happy! <3
What a guy!
Brad is my kinda bird!
I had no idea that roadrunners were mimics. Between them and the mocking birds I don’t know what’s what. I love her pompadour – all ready for the Oscars.
Yes, Oscar and close up ready all the time. Better than a real movie star! 😉
I swear this bird is modelling, showing off for you, great photos Cindy. 🙂
I agree with you and think so too! 😉
How on earth can you get these awesome pics!
You would need to ask Brad Pitt (the roadrunner). He is just in love with the lens! 😉
Amazing!
Ahhhh, so kind! 🙂
von mir für dich beste Grüße
Mit freundlichen GruBen Ihnen mein lieber Freund und Prost!
