I was in our livingroom and was shocked to see a Roadrunner on our back deck. In ten years we have never seen one here. I grabbed my camera which fortunately had a 400mm lens on it and went to the window to click off a couple of shots. I shot these through a big double-paned window, hand-held with whatever the camera happened to be set on. I only got a couple of shots before he took off.

Great catch. Not the usual environment one thinks of when it comes to roadrunners.

Well done. You did well no matter what the camera settings were.
