Roadrunners & Coyote in two different parks in southeastern Arizona.

These two clips are from different parks on different days.
We had never seen two roadrunners hanging out together so it was fun. The male roadrunner does his fascinating "bill rattle" sound. He clacks the upper and lower mandibles (bill parts) together like castanets to make a rat-a-tat sound.

I know it’s disappointing but the roadrunner does NOT make a “meep! meep!” sound. 🤷🏻‍♀
