Although we did not see him when we drove by a couple days later, we did see a covey of about 30 California Quail headed for the site, as well. We were wondering what the fascination was with this location. We went back this morning, 10 January at 10:45 am and again saw the Greater Roadrunner foraging close to the house that was under construction. On further inspection, we noticed that it was foraging directly under an overflowing garbage can. The approximately 30 California Quail were back again also, feeding away from the structure near a pile of dead brush or prunings. Whether the Roadrunner and Quail are eating naturally occuring food, neighbor provide seed, or fast food remnants is uncertain. Although I had never heard of Roadrunners becoming domestic, this bird seems to know its way around civilization and may be back frequently in the future so for anyone wanting a look, between 10:30 and 11 am sounds like a reasonable bet.
