Series: A Day at Bosque: [42] The Greater Roadrunner

(Greater Roadrunner) Bosque de Apache, New Mexico

This is a continuation of my series of images from my two weeks at Bosque. My intent is to make the images flow as though they all occurred during a single day. Of course, they occurred during the two weeks I was there.

This is the forty second post of the series. The time is now 13:45 pm.

If you are wondering what happened to 40 and 41, you will find them in the wildlife gallery where I posted, appropriately, a coyote. This image was taken at the beginning of the Marsh Loop where this Roadrunner wanted to cross the road and was having a problem since I was on the other side. It did make it after it posed for a few images. It spent most of the time, hiding in the bushes since cars kept driving by wonder what I was pointing my big lens at.

I'm not sure if the backlighting works on this one but I don't think I lost too much detail to the angle of the light or the fact that I hadn't gotten the flash on the camera yet.

Tripod/Wimberley mounted Nikon D2H, 600mm AFS, TC-20EII, ISO 800, Aperture Priority, 1/1500 @ F8. Full Frame.
