Meep-Meep Jr. is much shyer than Mama-Meep.
He likes playing me like Wile E.
Whenever I venture outside,
he vanishes, in a cloud of dust.
He forces me to shoot him through the double-paned, not too clean, windows.
Cheers to you from the very fast, quite shy, and oh-so-wiley, Meep-Meep-Junior~

Very happy you enjoyed the speedy one & thanks!
Very cute! Meep Meep!

always such details…and their eyes…they are looking at you Cindy 🤓 smiles hedy ☺️💫
They always know where I am before I get there!!!!
Hello Cindy,
What a handsome fellow! We don’t have road runners in Japan, so it’s a real treat to view them here 🙂 I loved the “meep meep” of the cartoon link <3
Best wishes,
Takami
So happy I was able to introduce you to the speedy one and thank you!
Stunning!!

wow how much bigger will he get?
I have a photo of him with mama. He is almost full grown. I would guess about 1/3 more growth max. He definitely is much more wary than his mama, who basically finds us very boring!
To judge by these amazing photos of your own personal roadrunner I conclude that your windows must be close to being spotless.
They are so unspotless it is pathetic….laughing! I should have cleaned them to take the photos, but window cleaning is not high on my list of loves of my life!
Stunning shots and I hate to say it, but your windows are cleaner than mine. No muddy paw prints anywhere.
I have no idea why the photos worked.There are cat and bird prints all over!!!
What a beauty! You got some excellent looks, and images from inside and through the window(s)!
Thank you! I was surprised too, especially considering that I haven’t quite gotten around to cleaning said windows!
How beautiful…and what fun! Meep, meep. Love it. Wonderful photographs of a gorgeous bird.
Thanks love & now I know how Wile E. feels!
Aww, you have a road runner!!! Love to see those guys.
Yp, they are incredibly fun birds to have around!
I love the roadrunners! So cute and such great photos – your windows seem fine to me. 🙂
The windows need work, but there is so much more I would rather do! Like chasing the beeping one……
Fantastic shots Cindy! My window always looks cleaner in photos than reality too! 😉 What kind of camera do you use? The quality of your photographs is incredible!
These photos were taken with the Sony HX400. I think it is very nice of our cameras to ignore our dirty windows!
It is indeed! Those pictures are just great!
<3
So pretty indeed!
Merci beaucoup!
De rien mon amie…♡

A cartoon character in real life. I love the name, the special photos through a window, and your clever post.
You are a lovely friend Dor. <3
Oh my goodness, Cindy. Catching any photo of the elusive roadrunner is incredible. All my years living in the desert, I barely caught a glimpse of one. You have phenomenal shots there even through a window. My son’s nickname as a child was roadrunner and that’s his ringtone on my phone. 🙂 Love roadrunners and Wylie Coyote. 🙂 Thanks for sending a smile.
They certainly like to watch us when they think we aren’t looking, but when we are looking, watch out, they are gone before you can reach for your camera. I now know just how Wile E. felt!
I have never seen a road runner! What a fascinating beauty! Meep meep!!

It looks like Mama has made a fine job of bringing up a robust roadrunner. And, meh, to cleaning windows. Plus the spottier they are the less likely birds and little critters will fly into them.
Excellent point. I now will never wash the windows (not that I ever really did), because it is kinder to birdies if I don’t. I need you in my life Mandy. This is the best reason ever!!! 😉
Absolutely the best reason, Cindy. “Non- window washer” can now be added to your already wonderful list of environmental credentials. 😀
Perfection! <3
Happy to have seen your roadrunners – gracefully fast bird! Meep, Meep! Beautiful shots Cindy clean glass or not, would have never known – your images were perfectly clear.
So kind Mary & much appreciated too! Have a wonderful day~
Magnificent bird! The window shots are good. You made the most of what you could get.
“You made the most of what you could get.”
This sounds like a good recipe for life in general. Thank you Darnell.
They’re still great shots, even through glass.
Alison
Merci beaucoup mon ami <3
Cindy, you just keep out-doing yourself. They are magnificent. <3 xx
You are a lovely friend. Be well Lea <3
<3
Wow. I’ve never seen an actual roadrunner. The colors are wonderful.
I am so pleased I could introduce you to the speedy one & cheers to you Marie <3
So that’s what a road runner looks like. Gorgeous.
I am so very pleased you enjoyed him & I am sure he agrees with your assessment of him! 😉
Cool photos.
Grazie <3
What unbelievably amazing shots! If I didn’t know you always take these incredible pictures, I would think you’re an alien! 😀
Awwww…… so kind & much appreciated! 👽👽
Wonderful captures Cindy, they are such sweet looking birds 🙂💖 xxx
Thank you. I love their eyeshadow!
FANTASTIC, THE COLOURS ARE ACE, CHINA
Very happy you think so & thank you!
Cracking photos! Now I have Bo Diddley “Road Runner” in my head.
Thanks much & how wonderful! I wonder how long Bo will stick there.
liebe Cindy, herrlich wieder deine Bilder, lass es dir heute gut gehen und passe auf dich auf.
Vielen danke mein lieber Freund <3

Hugs to you & happy Wednesday <3
Great Photos Cindy, I love our feathered friends.
Thanks much & we concur on the feathered folks.
Always my pleasure ☺️ 💛
<3 <3
Cindy, I would have never known you were shooting through a window. The clarity is wonderful. It was so fun to watch roadrunners when I lived in New Mexico. They’re such characters. Hugs on the wing… or the run.
😉
They are highly entertaining birds aren’t they, and not only on TV! Have an awesome week Teagan.
Wonderful captures of a fast runner! 🙂
Merci beaucoup mon ami <3
Cindy you never cease to amaze me with your fantastic photos and these live on your property too?! You have quite a sanctuary going!
I am so happy you enjoyed the speedy one & birdies make the best neighbors!
Gorgeous images of little Wille Jr! I enjoy watching roadrunners when I get the rare chance. Thanks for sharing yours.
Thank you more for you always thoughtful appreciation Brad & cheers to you~
What a character Cindy, you can see he has attitude.
Leslie
He certainly does have that ‘tude! 😉
😉 <3
Fantastic sight you have from your window!
He is pretty hilarious and quite self possessed!
🙂
Beautiful pictures. I love the detail in the close-ups.
The red and blue by the eyes is quite a dramatic touch isn’t it!
Lovely birds, Cindy, thanks for posting them. 🙂
Thank you more for your kind appreciation Ranu <3
What beauties!
They are ridiculously awesome critters <3
Aw, he’s just so cute! And trust me, your windows don’t look awful at all!!
Thankfully, the camera didn’t focus on the windows!! Have a happy hump-day Debbie <3
Splendid
Grazie Mille Derrick!
Great shots, even through glass, Cindy. I love watching this duo! Meep-meep!
Happy Thursday Eliza & cheers to you! <3
So lovely. I haven’t seen our roadrunners since Hurricane Harvey. 🙁
Oh how sad! You much miss them. <3
Handsome real life RR. I always think they should have a much longer legs to run as fast as in the cartoon version. Great shots!
They certainly can move lightening fast. They remind me of pterodactyls!
That is a bit too scary in addition.
Well, Great Herons are a lot bigger and a lot more pterdactylish. I make a point not to make any bird unnecessarily grumpy at me, and it all works out well <3
Wow. Beautiful.
And so comical to watch. They are members of the cuckoo family.
Beauties!!!
So pleased you enjoyed them & cheers!
You have an wonderful way of capturing our winged friends. Lovely, Cindy. It brings the roadrunner into a new perspective for me. Thanks for making my day beautiful.
Your comments always make my <3 smile Rebecca~
Cindy, awesome pictures. We don’t have these birds here locally so it was so cool to view birds like these. I like you, have been forced to shoot through glass and I like you have window cleaning far and I mean far down my list of to-do’s. Some of these feathered friends just don’t like any of us to get too close. 😘
They don’t like us to get too close, and I am grateful my camera forgives my lack of window diligence. Happy you enjoyed these goofy guys and cheers to you~
