BOTD: Lesser Roadrunner
Photo: Ad Konings
"Slightly smaller version of the familiar cartoon Greater Roadrunner, but usually the two species do not occur in the same places. Favors dry brushy woodland and overgrown weedy fields in tropical lowlands and foothills. Can be very elusive, but at other times runs out in the road or sits quietly sunning itself on a fence post or bush top in the early morning. Note that the center of the throat and breast are plain rich buffy, without the dense dark streaking of Greater Roadrunner."

Lesser Roadrunner Propaganda
The scientific name Geococcyx velox means "swift earth-cuckoo", and it shares this genus with its sister species, the Greater Roadrunner. Their range overlap slightly, but the Lesser Roadrunner is found in Mesoamerica, along the southern edge of the region. There is one disjunct population at the north end of the Yucatan peninsula.
"Roadrunners bask in the early morning, on a fence post or bush. They cock their tail and droop their wings, then turn their back towards the sun, raising the scapular feathers and exposing their black skin which absorbs heat."
Toulouse Goose Propaganda
[submitted as: my goose Brenda] "I think it'd be really funny if he got to compete, I know geese are probably a common submission but I'm only submitting Brenda"
Greylag Geese are the ancestor of many domestic goose breeds, including the Toulouse Goose. This goose is named after the Toulouse, France, where it was bred. They often have a heavy dewlap, but sometimes that trait can be more reduced.
I don't know really anything about geese classification but the way it looks on Wikipedia says: "heavy goose. yes. geese: heavy" and I enjoy that.
Originally bred as a fast-growing goose reared for meat and goose fat, they are considered to be a placid and approachable breed for beginners. Often they are kept for egg production on small farms.
