Despite the cartoon depictions of roadrunners, they are really beautiful and very active birds. The greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) is classified in the cuckoo family, Cuculidae, and is common in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. These birds can fly, but they spend most of their time running or walking along the ground. They can run at speeds of up to 15 miles per hours.
