[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Roadrunner had his eye on Zaius, my new little Long Haired Chihuahua puppy. Zaius has been the reason for my absence. I will put a shot of him in the workshop.

I have seen Roadrunners seize baby Quails and once grab a Finch from the feeder. I don't think he is really one of the many desert threats to Toy Dogs. I have friends who lost their pets to Owls and Hawks. Coyotes, Bobcats and Mountain Lions are a danger as well.

Zaius is slowly getting trained and almost on a schedule so I will be back today trying to catch up on my critiquing. Instead of my old comfortable routine, I will have to adjust to his.

Hi Jane,
Very good capture...
Very beautiful photo in excellent sharpness an perfect details.

Oh the joys of owning a pet... :) I have three cats and have always had pets of some kind... dogs, cats, tropical fish, etc. They do require a different routine.

This is a great capture of the roadrunner... excellent detail, wonderful composition and POV. DOF is also well done.

It is good to see you back... you were deeply missed. :)

Hello Jane,
recently I have not often met your posts. I hope everything very well.
This is really very nice shot for Roadrunner. it is also famous cartoon films shown here.
timing, focus, POV and composition very nice. notes also good. thanks for sharing
best wishes
Ahmet

Hello Jane, nice to see you back!
This is one bird that I've really wanted to see whenever I,ve visited your state. I have yet to view one in the wild, but I'm sure my day is coming.
You post a wonderful shot of this inquisitive Roadrunner. I really didn't know that they were such scavengers until I read your notes. The one in the cartoons always seemed so friendly, I guess that proves that you can't believe everything you see on TV..Ha Ha... Great work!!
Ron
Ps. Very cute puppy! How did he get his name?

hello Jane

Hi Jane,
as usual this is a lovely shot. The bird's eye is so clear and lovely. The leaves in the background give a good graphical effect.
well composed and nicely presented.
