Roadrunner was attracted to the bowl of meal worms on the proch that the Carertakers had put out for Wrens, Cardinals, and Rock Squirrels. It was not frightened by the camera flash that was taken through the window. The small birds were wary of being too close to the Roadrunner which is the same size as Hawks that sometimes hunt in the bird feeding areas.
