Now the orange bird will "coming soon to the Springs Preserve, where the real roadrunners and coyotes live" posted artist Alisha Kerlin on her Facebook feed. The large-scale roadrunners have been, for the most part, homeless after a debut in “Roadrunners That Won’t Run Far” at Clark County Rotunda Gallery in 2014.
