Last Thursday, I was driving down to the cutoff road in Murray that goes up a long steep grade to CR24 on Shiloh Mountain; just as I made a right turn onto the cutoff road, know locally as “the Slide”, a Roadrunner crossed the road in from of me. This is about the 12th Ive seen in this part of Newton County. Instead of disappearing, he jumped up on the branch of a bush and ducked under cover. I waited with the window down and a my Canon 400 DO IS lens on my 7D for 5-10 minutes for him to reappear and jump back on the ground; got a few pictures of him; this was the best one. I also saw a Bobcat on the Slide, 15 minutes later; and earlier that same day saw a coyote in my back yard:
