We live on the 8th hole at the Coyote Lakes Golf Course in Surprise, Arizona. Beep Beep (Beep) showed up one day in November 2023 and never left. Beep shows up to our home most everyday about 4:00-5:00 PM and roosts on our backyard nightlight. We realized this one day when Beep showed up about 4:00 PM and came up to my dog (Joli) and I like he owned the place. He then jumps on our nightlight and spent the night. I was amazed that he was unafraid of Joli and I. Beep now pecks on our door trying to get our attention for more worms. We have created a little monster, but we love him. _____________________________________________ UPDATE MARCH 2024 Beep continues to roost on our nightlight most every night. I now feed him earthworms, mealworms or hamburger most everyday. Beep leaves his roost every morning at sunrise and usually returns every late afternoon. I really don't know for sure if Beep is a male or female. Beep has never laid an egg so I am assuming Beep is a male. To this point I have not seen a mate but neighbors have said they have seen two roadrunners on the 8th hole at Coyote Lakes. _____________________________________________ UPDATE MAY 2024Beep doesn't show up as often now. I believe he/she is mating and Beep helps by sitting on the eggs. Beep shows up about every other day now and has stopped roosting on our backyard night lite. We are getting ready to leave Arizona for Indiana. I have asked the locals to protect Beep. Beep is on the 8th hole of the Coyote Lakes Golf Course. This beautiful bird has made the past six months exceptional for me. I will definitely miss him this summer and hope Beep misses me also. Hopefully he will still be here when we return. ________________________________________ Beep had been roosting nightly on on our nightlight again. I believe his mating or sitting on eggs is over for now. We have returned to Indiana, arriving today 6-4-2024. I checked my security camera tonight and there was Beep looking for me. I have uploaded a video of Beep looking for me and other videos. Beep's videos can be viewed by clicking Beep's videos in the TOC. The past 6 months, he usually came every night and I would feed him and then he jumps to his roost. A friend said he will check nightly and feed Beep occasionally. I will be very upset if something happens to Beep and I hope he will still be there when we return in October 2024. _________________________________________________ UPDATE JUNE 2025 Jorge my friend, checked on and occasionally fed Beep the summer of 2024. I followed Beep on our security camera. Each night I would watch Beep jump to his roost on our nightlight and getting up early each morning. I would check on Beep just about every day to make sure he was safe. In October 2024 we returned to Arizona. When we pulled up in our drive there was Beep greeting us. Of course we were excited seeing Beep again. Beep continued visiting us everyday and would jump to my knee and I would feed him mealworms. He would then jump to his roost for the night. I continued feeding Beep and checking on him daily. Beep would come visit when I called out Beep Beep and then I would feed and talk to him. I also started seeing other Roadrunners in my yard but Beep didn't seem to like any of them. The roadrunners would chase each other and then Beep would always returned. I took many videos and photos of Beep. Overtime Beep and I become very close. I started loving Beep more and more each time he visited. My feelings for him become just as strong for him as any household pet. I actually was surprised that I would love Beep like anyone of my past pets. Beep was a special and unusual Bird. This went on through out the winter of 2025. When May came we again got ready to leave for Indiana. The day before we left Beep showed up and I fed him and told him goodbye as he sat on my knee. The next morning I watched him eat his breakfast. Before we left we setup Jorge to feed Beep occasionally and check on him often. It really hurt me to leave Beep in Arizona by himself. We left Arizona for Indiana on May 22nd. I continued to watch Beep on my security camera. He would visit and appeared to be looking for me at times. I would check on him each and everyday. TERRIBLE NEWS: Beep visited me daily for going on three years. As an 82 year old man, I didn't think it would hurt this much of his passing. Many will say it's just a wild bird. He was more than this to me. He was my friend who visited me everyday and roost on our nightlight. I looked forward to seeing his visits everyday. I will miss him. He was my great friend. RIP Beep! NOW THE MYSTERY - Is Beep still alive! I haven't seen Beep for nearly a month now. __________________________________________ JUNE 29, MY BIRTHDAY_________________________________________________________ A message from my Granddaughter: I hated reading about Beep Beep. I think he's alive and maybe just didn't recognize your friend right away and got frightened. I really hope he's okay and well. He's a cute little guy and I think it's so cool you made friends with a ROADRUNNER. My grandpa can do anything! IT HAS BEEN A MONTH NOW SINCE I HAVE SEEN BEEP ON MY SECURITY CAMERA. I AM NOW SURE THE ROADRUNNER FOUND DEAD IN MY BACKYARD WAS BEEP. I WILL MISS THE DAILY VISITS WITH BEEP SITTING ON MY KNEE AND LOOKING STRAIGHT INTO MY EYES WITH LOVE. I KNOW HE WAS A WILD BIRD BUT IT REALLY HURTS AND I WILL ALWAYS MISS HIM. I LOVED THAT LITTLE BIRD. I REALLY WISH I KNEW HOW BEEP DIED.. BEEP THE COYOTE LAKES ROADRUNNER IS ALIVE AND WELL! IT WASN'T BEEP! My last post I reported that Beep was the dead roadrunner in my yard because we have not seen him in our security cameras for a month. Beep has shown up alive and well. My security camera spotted him on July 15th. I called Jorge to check and he went to the house. Yes, it was Beep and Jorge fed him. I have no idea who the dead roadrunner was but it wasn't Beep! Life is good! BEEP IS A COYOTE LAKES GOLF COURSE ROADRUNNER IN SURPRISE, ARIZONA TABLE OF CONTENTSBeau Productions Historical Websites
