Totah Sam Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My niece took this photo just outside of Bernalillo New Mexico yesterday. Heading south on 550. She is convinced it's a roadrunner. I'm thinking it's a type of grackle. She captured it on her phone so the quality isn't really that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'd say you win the bet. Looks like a Grackle, and structure is wrong for a Roadrunner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Greater Roadrunners have streaked plumage, unlike the depicted bird's solid colored feathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
