I know I'm gonna get a lot of flack for reporting this, but last Wed. June 11th I spotted this huge bird with an even longer tail and tufted head just standing on my country road. As I was reaching for my camera it very quickly ran off, still on the road. My friend spotted just the tail end of it. Yes folks it was a ROADRUNNER! Now before youze all get into a tizzy, there have been several sightings for the last 3 months and was reported in the Owen Sound Sun Times. No sight of Wiley Coyote though.
