Blue Diamond, NV - Greater Roadrunner

While I was parked by a field watching the Sparrows, this guy came over to check me out. At one point he was right next to the driver's door looking up at me and I was too afraid to try changing to a smaller lens. It wasn't until he started to move away that I was able to get any shots - most of the time he was too close to the truck!

Great shots. He was probably looking for a handout, working the lot. :)

Beep! Beep! Sorry, couldn't resist. Very nice shots. Too close, now there is a novel problem to have! :D I wish I had that one every once in a while!!

Very nice! Really good detail in all the shots, way to catch it. Or as the roadrunner would say, "BEEP BEEP"!

Excellent, excellent, I agree with Canonloader, especially # 3, looks like he was waiting for you to give him something.
