For me living in the arid zone of the southwest, my favorite bird of all is the Roadrunner. Why is this? This is an all around bird. It can run like the dickens and out chase most little critters. It can definitely fly when in danger. It's very wary and hard to approach. On the ground, this bird can be gone in a flash! I would say it is perfectly designed for the southwest. Its slight shades of blue around the eyes and wings gives it a mark of distinction. It has eye sight that is very powerful. If I were its size, I couldn't stand a chance against this warrior type bird. Nature has designed the Roadrunner for survival . . .
