Since posting that, I looked to find out. It appears to be a variety of roadrunner, very similar to this one:

That’s funny. Road runner was what popped into my head. I thought that was just a latent memory of cartoons that popped up when you mentioned a running bird.
I love seeing the various bird life as I go outside and tend the green babies!
Yesterday I saw a blue splash of jay. We have a little mama Brown Thrasher with a nest right next to my okra sunflower bed.
