If you spend some time at Sabino, you are almost certain to spot a Roadrunner. They are used to people at Sabino, so you can get quite close to them. Greater Roadrunners are large cuckoos with a distinctive shape: long legs, a very long, straight tail, and a long neck. The head has a short crest and the bill is long, heavy, and slightly downcurved. They have a patch of bare, blue skin behind the eye which tapers to a touch of red. Roadrunners spend most of their lives on the ground hunting lizards, small mammals, and birds. They are very fast runners and can outrun a human.
