After accidentally destroying a bird's nest, a man drove across Texas holding the only surviving egg in an attempt to save the roadrunner that would be named Miles.
After giving Hagan the box, the woman told her the hatchling’s story: Her husband had been clearing land on property near Odessa in West Texas a day or two earlier when he accidentally ran over a bird’s nest, smashing all but one of the eggs it held.
When the lone surviving egg rolled out of the ill-fated nest, the man scooped it up. After finishing his work, he drove the egg back to his home in Lufkin in East Texas. For about 500 miles, he held the egg to keep it warm as he trekked across the state, Hagan said.The egg hatched the night of May 30 after he got home. He and his wife researched places that could take in and care for the bird. Finding none near them, they broadened their search, eventually homing in on the Rogers center.
Miles, the roadrunner hatchling, was rescued and dropped off at the Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Hutchins, Tex., on May 31. A roadrunner hitched a nearly 3,000-mile ride from Vegas to Maine. Bird experts are trying to send it back. Hagan, a 70-year-old retired attorney who has volunteered for the center since 2018, was impressed with the lengths the couple had taken to save the nest’s last-surviving egg and then its hatchling. Inspired, she took to her keyboard to peck out the story of the pains they had taken for the baby bird and published it on the center’s Facebook page., featuring a stark photo of the roadrunner, was flooded with hundreds of comments, many of them suggestions for naming the bird.
