尽管在科罗拉多州东南部的典型息地, 但是在丹佛发现了路跑者. Roadrunner spotted in Denver despite typical habitat in southeastern Colorado.

丹佛市区南帕克路附近最近发现了一只大公路跑鸟, 这种情况不常见, 因为这只鸟通常居住在科罗拉多州的极东南部. A Greater Roadrunner was recently spotted in the Denver Metro Area near South Parker Road, an unusual occurrence as the bird typically inhabits the extreme southeastern part of Colorado. 野生动物专家认为这只鸟很可能从科罗拉多泉向北飞行, 可能是沿着绿带走廊的小鸟, 也许是在探索或寻找食物时迷失方向. Wildlife experts believe the bird likely traveled north from Colorado Springs, possibly following a greenbelt corridor, and may be a juvenile that became disoriented while exploring or searching for food. 虽然公路跑者不常迁移, 但它们强大的跑步能力解释了城市环境中出现在这些地方的意想不到. While roadrunners are not known to migrate, their strong running ability explains the unexpected appearance in an urban setting.
