The roadrunner, an icon of the Southwest and one of the most
beloved birds of the United States, is also one of the least
understood. In The Real Roadrunner, Martha Anne Maxon offers the
most thorough natural history of the greater roadrunner species to
date, revealing how the adaptable nature of the bird has allowed it
to survive throughout the centuries and even to thrive today, when
many other bird species are in decline.In her portrait of the
roadrunner, Maxon covers the basic features and behavioral patterns
of this bird - lineage, anatomy, habitat, and range, as well as
strategies for obtaining food, withstanding the elements, and
avoiding predators, with special attention given to the courtship
and nesting behaviors that occupy the species for three-quarters of
the year. The author has assembled and analyzed information both
from scientific and popular literature and from other researchers.
This and her years of field observation and experience with raising
young roadrunners in captivity have yielded new and intriguing
facts on the species' courtship and nesting behavior and on the
development of the young.
