 | The Roadrunner by Wyman Meinzer
As you travel across the Southwest, you chance to see a sleek, mostly brown-and-white bird with a long tail dart across the road. Or you may see one sitting on a post or branch never too far off the ground. This is the roadrunner. For many, the word roadrunner has an instant association with the cartoon character whose nemesis is another common animal of this region, the coyote. The image of this bird adorns everything from Native American pottery and jewelry to tee-shirts and logos. But despite the popularity of the stylized or cartoon image, surprisingly little has been documented about the habits of the roadrunner. Complementing Meinzer`s stunning photostudy is his personal account of the years he spent observing and recording the daily routine of several roadrunner families. Through his lens, Meinzer chronicled the roadrunners` courting, mating, nesting, hunting, and rearing their young. Seasoned with humor and poignancy, his story has also a certain connectedness, an insight afforded only those who develop a long-term relationship with their subjects of study. Many of the roadrunners that Meinzer recorded became with time comfortable with his presence - one even permitted his assistance in catching a lizard. More than the sum of its parts, this book offers not only the first booklength photostudy of roadrunners, but also an unprecedented perspective on our fascination with them. AUTHOR: Wyman Meinzer
