Great pictures everyone.

I really should post this one in the "most disappointing" thread because the image exposure quality is so disappointing. I've lived here in New Mexico for 25 years and this is the first time I've ever seen a roadrunner (our state bird) with its prey. It was sitting on the corner of my roof yesterday afternoon, with the sun amost directly behind it. I didn't want to miss getting a couple pictures of it; but they all came out as sillouttes. With some brightness and contrast adjustments, at least you can see what's going on ... lunch time. I'm just glad it didn't offer to share his lunch with ... LOL!
