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.
