As one heads into Death Valley from the west the first stop is the Panamint Springs Resort.
Fred and I stopped here to pick up coffee for our breakfast picnic. I was already scanning the bush around the camp spot - after all their sign told me too..
Fred came back after chatting to the waitress and she had told him the roadrunners are early morning birds and it was already close to 9am.
Well, got my bird of the trip!
The Roadrunner is my only target bird for the west. It has been on my radar for 4 weeks and then it quietly sneaked past me. Fred rushed off for his camera and managed to snap a few pictures before the bird disappeared. Awesome.
