Bob and Tweeters,
Mines Road in the East Bay is known as a great spot to see Roadrunners
at the north end of their range.

A few days ago, I had the opportunity to visit the San Francisco
Bay Bird Observatory in Alviso, CA which is located near the south end
of San Fran Bay. The director asked me if I saw the Roadrunner near the
parking lot of the observatory. Of course, I though she was joking as
it is just a bit unusual to see a Roadrunner a few feet from the Bay.
She said it had been there for a couple weeks. Sure enough, I walked
out of her office and 20 feet away stood the Roadrunner. Having never
seen one before, I watched it for about a half hour until I had to go to
another appointment. Great bird!
