This wild #roadrunner walked up to me when I sang to him in October 2023 and at least one of us fell in love. Companionable and curious, Roadie comes to my studio door and waits for me to sit outside with him, sometimes for hours. As of winter 2025, I am still singing to Roadie on my patio in the Sky Islands. On December 19, Roadie allowed me to pet him!
That should tell you a lot about me.
