The Greater Roadrunner is found in the southwestern
United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America.
It is the state bird of New Mexico. It occurs in
desert and scrubland habitats, often in arid areas
with cacti, shrubs, and rocky terrain. They are
omnivorous and opportunistic feeders, and eat a
variety of foods, including insects, lizards, small
mammals, snakes, and even fruits and seeds. They
are known for their ability to hunt and kill prey
larger than themselves, including rattlesnakes.
They build their nests in shrubs or low trees.
