Posing for a Portrait

This Road Runner or Geococcyx californianus stood perfectly still while I took this picture. He was scavenging for food around a restaurant on a open patio. I am sure that he had learned that if he stood still for a few minutes that people would start to feed him bits of food. But I took advantage of the photo opportunity and did not have anything to feed him with and wouldn't have anyway since I don't feed wild animals human food.
