At 8:45 AM this morning, Saturday the 11th, I was giving up on seeing the Roadrunner and was starting to load my car to head for the SCVAS fieldtrip, when I was informed that the Roadrunner was up in the euc by the restroom of the Alviso marina. I immediately verified with the Questar that he was perched on the large horizontal branch of the tree just to the southeast of the restroom. He seemed to me to be sunbathing, which I often see them do in Death Valley. Later, a view from about 20 paces (showing all head) was impressive, with red below the eye, white thru the eye, and a hint of blue up above. After some number of minutes he flew down to the bushes on the east side of the marina entrance road, and worked his way south along the base of those bushes. He did not come out the other side of that short length of bushes while I stayed there. It seemed to me as if he might stay overnight in those bushes along the marina entrance culvert.
