Barry and Tweeters,

And there is another obscure margin to Greater Roadrunner's range. This quintessential Southwestern bird also ranges as far east as the eastern edge of Texas in the Big Thicket Preserve, where I've seen it a couple times out of dozens of visits to the Texas "Piney Woods" near Silsbee. This end of its range puts it more or less in the Southeast, near the Louisiana border.

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!
