Roadrunner - Watson Lake Park - Prescott I was hoping to see a roadrunner.  Instead I think I found a trail walker [rimshot].

The roadrunners (genus Geococcyx), also known as chaparral birds or chaparral cocks, are two species of fast-running ground cuckoos with long tails and crests. They are found in the southwestern and south-central United States, Mexico and Central America,[2][3] usually in the desert. Although capable of flight, roadrunners generally run away from predators. On the ground, some have been clocked at 32 km/h (20 mph).

"Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells, in Prescott, Arizona, that was formed in the early 1900s when the Chino Valley Irrigation District built a dam on Granite Creek. The City of Prescott bought the reservoir and surrounding land in 1997 to preserve it as recreational land. Local rockclimbers use the granite cliffs above and adjacent to the lake for top-roping and lead climbing. The lake is also the home of TriCity Prep Rowing Crew, a local high school team and only rowing team in Northern Arizona.

"Located about four miles from downtown Prescott, Watson Lake offers a variety of outdoor activities for everyone. Boating enthusiasts will find convenience with two boat launches and options for canoe and kayak rentals. Fishing is a delight with carp, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass swimming in the lake. If bird watching is your passion, head to the nearby Watson Woods Riparian Preserve, endorsed by the Audubon society, boasting hundreds of bird species including eagles and pelicans.
"For hikers, the easily accessible Peavine and Iron King Trails, both close to the lake, provide a pleasant and relatively flat terrain. During the summer months, visitors can set up camp at the available campsites, equipped with restrooms, showers, picnic tables, grills, fish cleaning stations, and a boat ramp. "
