Title: Image of the day-Not for the faint of heart
Post by Richr8 on Jul 3^rd, 2006, 11:32am

Photography is one of my passions though I'm a little out of practice. This is a rare short of a road runner kill. Think yuo are having a bad day?

Jonny-I don' have the exif data in front of me, but it sounds about right. There wasn't too much time for thinking. A half second ago, that poor little bird was sittn' on the wall all alone. I just happened to have my camera with me.

What a fantastic picture. It's mother nature doing her thing. Survival of the fittest. Awesome shot.

Funny, I don't think I've never seen a pic of a real road runner before. Always thought of the one battling Wyle E. Coyote

Do they really BEEP ? I know little finches do you buy for pets and always wonder'd if the road runners did similar. Never seen one before.......not real knowledgeable on the subject. Ignorence shows Pam

Nice pic by the way.............

They do indeed beep, they also stick their tongues out when they stop and turn towards you. They can avoid injury by dodging anvils, piles of brick, and anything the Acme Corporation makes. Their daily routine includes making an ass out of every coyote they encounter. Very impressive animals!

Nice photo Rich. Nice psychic detective work, Jonny.

I took a few bird shots on Easter ... not as clean or as poignant as yours, but not too shabby. Will post one later tonight.
