I have no idea what these are. I haven't seen anything like them around here. I just got back from a short trip to southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas this afternoon. I took these last Friday in the Pea Ridge National Battlefield east of Rogers, Arkansas. They must be some sort of hawk or falcon. I was standing on the top of a ledge and they were coming close to catch the updraft. I was just pointing and shooting, so they are taken at some strange angles.

Urban Roadrunner
A first-time visitor to yard. Watering plants, I happened to look up and there (s)he was watching from atop wall. Eventually (s)he dropped down into landlady's backyard. Investigated a bush and then flitted back up on wall. Luckily (s)he was very curious and allowed me time to get camera.
Any comments on how common this is? I'm not on edge of Tucson but about 5 or 6 blocks east of University of Arizona campus in residential neighborhood amid major east-west and north-south traffic.

Fantastic!
Like Tony says, usually, you only get a fleeting glimpse (out of the corner of .. wait, sorry about that). Although I was fortunate to have a similar "close encounter" like you did where the Road Runner was climbing around in some vines on a stucco wall. I only wish I would have been able to get pictures like you did.
