Greater Roadrunner Looking for a Handout

   Posted by: admin   in Route 66

A greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) filmed along old Route 66 between Oatman and Kingman, AZ.

I was taking a panorama of the store along the road and noticed a bird making a clattering sound by one of the buildings. I took a closer look and saw it was a roadrunner. I got my camera to take a video and when I tried to slowly approach the bird it suddenly ran toward me. It was hard to video because it kept approaching so close. It must have been used to handouts from passing motorists.

As I was filming, another roadrunner that I hadn’t noticed on a window ledge, jumped off and joined the first. I followed them to the back of the store and videoed them both.

Duration : 0:1:1
