    As promised earlier, I spoke with my Dad this weekend about him seeing 
    Roadrunners in Contra Costa County when he was younger. He used to work 
    as a cowboy on the various ranches in the area in the summers. He said 
    he saw them specifically "in the greasewood" up above Crockett where 
    the Cummings Skyway is now. This would have been in the early 1940s. He 
    was positive of what he saw and saw them on multiple occasions. He 
    would have been on horseback for the most part. I earlier stated that 
    he saw them in Franklin Canyon but he said no to that. He just saw one 
    the other day in Yolo County (he drives all over a six or seven county 
    area as a State Brand Inspector) and remarked that it had been years 
    since he had seen one.
