Finally.

So my mom wasn't fibbing about the roadrunner sighting. She thinks there are three up around our place, and they're out and about most mornings now. I decided to watch from my preferred window.



And look! Here's one in our driveway, puffing out his feathers to warm up a bit. He looks pretty small in this photo, but really he's about 22" long from beak to tail and he's actually sleeker when his feathers and wings are back in place.



Also, roadrunners really don't beep, they clack with their beaks. Listen here. Can you imagine my mom trying to imitate this every time she sees one? At least this time she left us alone in silence!
