The streets are so deserted in our neighborhood now that it is a frequent sight to see cottontails feeding on plant life in vacant yards. Startled, they hop on down the street trying to evade me. The roadrunner I happened across this morning also did likewise, hot-footing it so quickly across someone's driveway I barely had a chance to swing my camera up to catch his photo. They are so elusive we never see them when all the snowbirds are in town so this was a special treat.
