Lesser Roadrunner (Geococcyx velox) monotypic Cuckoos (Cuculidae) Sierra Quila, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2013-07-11 Adult. Revealed by its discrete djuk call. Think this species is more confident and approachable than its close relatiave Greater Roadrunner. The two are best separated by unstreaked throat and chest on Lesser. Apparently the red spot after at the end of the blue eye-patch is not as easy to see on Lesser as on Greater. Or perhaps it isn't always present? From the side it looks more or less like Greater Roadrunner. Separated most easy from Greater Roadrunner when seen from in front. |

Lesser Roadrunner (Geococcyx velox) monotypic Cuckoos (Cuculidae) Cerro arriba de Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), Mexico 2019-06-01 Flying. This bird was singing spontaneously from uphill, and it was a big surprise to see it coming out soaring through the air downhill into cover. Never saw a flying roadrunner before! Had I just been faster I would have had the bird with a blue sky as background overhead... |
