It only 7 hours to Chompys Deli in Scottsdale. I found that corned beef freezes well. I also made a mental note when they sliced for me last time..It was National Deli brand and boy was it good.

Where I Live:: Corrales Heights, Rio Rancho

About Me:: i am the self appointed expert on the state bird! having kept a journal on the pair that live in my yard for the last 3 years (they have claimed our land since before we lived here) and i have taken over 14,000 images of the birds. the photos you see are real, not photo shopped. he's "big guy" the senior male bird on the property.

People have asked me about my motivation for choosing this subject and making the dedication to study a bird for the last 3 years. Losing a parent caused me to look Right now, for time is fleeting.

As my dear friend Anna says about The Roadrunner Project, "you didn't choose the birds, the birds chose you to tell their story".

Education is a part of this project and I have made myself available to schools, librarys and any area where there are people who want to learn more about this wonderful and stately bird of ours.

i feel blessed to live in New Mexico and the roadrunners are part of my connection to this land.

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: its all about the people (and the roadrunners!), beautiful sunsets, roadrunner

Relationship Status:: get out of here with your bourgeois mating labels

My Website:: http://www.sarahbonneauphotography.com

What I'm Reading:: Re-reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Vanity Fair, and looking at a whole lot of New Mexican books to many to name (studing layout for a future book of mine), and the Weekly Alibi.

What I'm Listening To:: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Was Not Was, Jennifer Warnes, XM Radio, and my inner voice.

Things are very hectic for us since we're working hard to get three units ready to deploy to Iraq this year and we have one coming back from Afghanistan. I only get a chance to photograph soldiers and not much time for that these days. Things will slow down a lot for me next year when I retire and I'm gonna waste lots of film (j/k... I shoot digital) running around the state. I'll feed you any roadrunner shots I get ;-)

At 8:40pm on March 18, 2009, James of al-Barran said…: I was down in Las Cruces this week and saw this at a rest stop on I-10. I thought of you and had to photograph it.

At 8:17am on February 24, 2009, roadrunner lady said…: Cool! They are now busy mating and nest building. Be sure not to trim bushes in spring without first checking for nests!
