It’s been so hot and dry in Central Texas that lately all sorts of wildlife is coming to the back yard to take a sip of water and cool off:
Fox taking a sip.
A Gray Fox taking a much needed drink from the fountain. Skinny little fella. We see him almost every night browsing around the bird feeders looking for anything edible.
A roadrunner makes his way every morning to the bird bath for a sip too. I apologize for the terrible picture, but he really doesn’t like to stay around too long.
A lucky picture as he runs by the window.
LOL – we have several around here too, but you’re right – they are usually moving too darned fast, or I am driving by. Sometimes I will look out at my birdbath and there he will be enjoying his morning drink, but by the time I get my camera he’s off again. Beep, Beep
I am literally aching for a decent shot of a Roadrunner! I have had two commit suicide in front of my truck on US 281 between Johnson City / Marble Falls. I see many but one of us is always on the move, and I mean FAST!! About a week ago I saw one in early morning sun parked on the west side of 281 between Lampasas and Burnet … back to the sun with wings outstretched to absorb the ultraviolet light (I think). All I had was a speeding Dodge Ram hauling a 50mm lens!! Ha! Par for the course!
