This is the one
bird I can always identify correctly. (Sorry, Ned.) Signature bird of the southwest, the Greater Roadrunner is extremely well-adapted to our fair desert. Although the eyes are '
on the side', they can focus in well in front, giving the roadrunner the needed
field of vision* [*scroll down to the predator/prey charts] to catch prey - like snakes, lizards, small birds, rodents. Great camouflage, too!
