10,000 Birds
MAY 27, 2013
We’ve got coyotes in Chicago and its suburbs, but I’ve never bumped into one in the field. The tours out to the Stillwater Refuge and Carson Lake, though, offered good looks at two coyotes. Nothing, however, prepared me for the fauna that awaited last weekend at the Spring Wings festival in Fallon, Nevada.

These ground birds have been clocked going 20 mph, though their coyote predators can go more than twice that. Rattlesnakes are fair game, as are other reptiles, scorpions, frogs, birds, and insects. Of course, only thirty minutes later I saw my second roadrunner, this time standing on a lawn adjacent to a busy street!

They are quite capable of killing and eating the venomous rattlesnakes of this desert region. Coyote for keeping this great bird as popular as it is! The primary food source for the roadrunner is insects, lizards, and small snakes, which it gets ahold of and bashes on a rock until dead. Thank you ACME and Wiley E.

In addition to these aerial predators, their eggs and young are often taken by squirrels, gray foxes, house cats, coyotes, gopher snakes, rattlesnakes, raccoons, American Crows and Western Scrub-Jays. Let us also not forget the two-legged predator with a shotgun.
