Geococcyx californianus
Look closely....there's a bird in there - lol. The Roadrunner is a member of the cuckoo family. They are typically found in desert and shrubby habitats in the southwestern US and northern Mexico. And, excuse me, but it looks nothing like Wile E Coyote's nemesis. I think Warner Bros exaggerated him a bit - lol.
