Better on black. Never realized what natural camouflage the road runner has - couldn't get his crest up very much but better than the other two shots. They're fast scurriers!
@annepann We generally average about 45" of rain a year if I remember my Arkansas History lessons - though we've been much drier this year. They're not uncommon here though I've only caught a picture a few times. I've seen one in this area 3 times near the golf course - first time I was quick enough to catch him.
Fab to see birds not native to the UK . I bet they have quite a character . Had the same problem with camoflage at the weekend .Trying to photograph a snipe ,blink and it was gone .
Great pic.
