Apparently they're about two feet long, beak to tail, though that doesn't give the height when they are standing. On those long legs, they must be around eighteen inches or more tall, at a guess. Here is the Cornell article--I always learn something from these: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Greater_Roadrunner/overview
For instance, I had no idea they worked together to kill rattlesnakes!
Thanks for the roadrunner info. About the poetry book. I’m going set the hardcover sales up soon at Lulu. I’ll take any orders for signed ones and leave it at that for now. I’ll look more closely at paperback version in the near future.
I would like to see a Roadrunner. How tall are they?

The desert comes to (beautiful) life in your poems -- such a gift to read them. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth--I love to share the desert's beauties--they are so special!
