Description

A pair of Roadrunners built a nest in a prickly pear cactus in my yard and I observed the entire process from nest building to incubating the eggs to feeding the chicks and finally the fledging of all five. The eggs are laid every other day and the eggs hatch accordingly. This chick is about 18 days old and ready to leave the nest.
