The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) feeds on a remarkable diversity of animals including rodents, birds, reptiles, and arthropods (Hughes 1996). Often the species demonstrates surprising adaptability in acquiring prey: individual roadrunners have been observed capturing insects by turning over surface objects (Jaeger 1947), hiding near artificial feeders to take hummingbirds (Spofford 1975), and removing passerines from mist nets (Barclay 1977).
