Meet our Bird of the Week: The Greater Roadrunner!

Armed with a battery of physiological and behavioral adaptations, the Greater Roadrunner thrives in arid regions, in the Colorado foothills, and among the pines of western Louisiana. An opportunistic predator, it feeds on snakes, lizards, spiders, scorpions, insects, birds, rodents, and bats, which it beats repeatedly against a hard substrate before consuming.
