But the wilds of Nevada revealed rattlesnakes, lizards (OK, the lizards didn’t seem that dangerous), and more than one mama cow who stared us down when our vehicles got too close to a calf. Also new was a healthy sense of fear for some of the animals we encountered. Not yet, knock on wood.)

We ended with 7 species of mammal, including River Otter, Gray Fox, and Marsh Rabbit, but the highlight may have been a little Canebrake Rattlesnake crossing the road at the Bodie Island lighthouse, a lifer herp for me.

In addition to these aerial predators, their eggs and young are often taken by squirrels, gray foxes, house cats, coyotes, gopher snakes, rattlesnakes, raccoons, American Crows and Western Scrub-Jays. Let us also not forget the two-legged predator with a shotgun.

As birds aren’t the only compelling critters we encounter when afield, some episodes showcase other animals such as marmosets, rattlesnakes, and scorpions, and we even have an iNaturalist tutorial. In addition to showing high-quality natural history footage, each member of our team adds their own personal style and humor to the episodes.

Rattlesnakes are fair game, as are other reptiles, scorpions, frogs, birds, and insects. These ground birds have been clocked going 20 mph, though their coyote predators can go more than twice that. Their impressive speed is used for hunting, and roadrunners will eat almost anything that moves.

They are quite capable of killing and eating the venomous rattlesnakes of this desert region. The primary food source for the roadrunner is insects, lizards, and small snakes, which it gets ahold of and bashes on a rock until dead. Several times I have seen roadrunners fly well over 100 yards from a ridge top to the desert floor.
