Profile Information

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 1/2 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, libraries 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 roadrunners (and the people), beautiful sunsets, pueblos

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 (studying layout for a future book of mine), and the Weekly Alibi.

What I'm Listening To:: My Inner Voice, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Was Not Was, Jennifer Warnes, XM Radio.

At 5:36pm on September 30, 2009, Rochelle Kremer said…: Thank you for the welcome, roadrunner lady. My husband and I often encounter these marvelous birds on our walks near the Sandias. Being fairly new to Abq we don't know a lot about them so forgive me if my questions seem very basic ;) My first question is this: How do you tell the difference between a male and a female? Are they like other birds in that the female is usually the drabber of the two? Your exhibit sounds very interesting; we'll have to go check it out!

At 9:13pm on September 25, 2009, JMG said…: Did you see my comment (in the DCF forum) about cats and roadrunners? I wonder how many cats kill or injure roadrunners in the city.

At 7:45pm on September 25, 2009, JMG said…: thanks for your note and comments about my blog. I've written more here: http://www.jillgat.blogspot.com/ though not very recently. I think I've met you and seen your pics at places like the Bern Wine Festival last year? Love the roadrunners, of course.

At 6:42pm on June 29, 2009, Ben Moffett said…: I've seen no roadrunners since April, and toads are running amuck. No problems, since I like toads as much as roadrunners, but I'd like to see some balance.

At 7:46pm on June 12, 2009, Gina St. Jean said…: Thanks! Moved here a year ago and instantly fell in love with this bird!

At 10:12pm on June 9, 2009, Rudolfo Carrillo said…: a photo shoot, eh...that might be in interesting project, but only if i get to wear funny 19th century nautical garb.

At 4:14pm on April 16, 2009, Shannon said…: Thanks! I actually do love roadrunners - I used to live and Arizona and would see them on my desert treks out there. They are such cool birds...

At 4:57pm on March 19, 2009, James of al-Barran said…: Hiya RRLady! It's good to hear from you and I'm glad you like it (if you click on it you'll go to my Flickr page and can download the big sizes and use it if you'd like).

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 ;-)
