This Roadrunner walked up to me and I thought he would peck my feet. Then walked into the orchard; was then buzzed by a Raven and ran rapidly into the underbrush.

Tengo mis dudas, teniendo en cuenta que estos bichos son todos muy parecidos.
Estaba junto a un grupo de Geospizopsis unicolor, la vi diferente (pico más alto, primarias más largas y diseño del plumaje en general) y me pareció que vocalizaba diferente y por eso me enfoqué en fotografiarla un poco más.
No es normal que ninguna de las dos especies baje hasta este sitio (de hecho es la primera vez que las veo acá en el pueblo), pero con la nevada fuerte de este fin de semana bajaron varias especies de la montaña.
Estuvo un rato un rato comiendo las semillas de Taraxacum officinale.
