Hi,
Although my wife calls them "dust catchers," I really do have a huge collection of rocks and minerals of which are featured many banded agates from Mexico, especially a laguna, a crazy lace, and a gorgeous yet ridiculously expensive apache flame that was given to us by my brother as a wedding present.

In what bird family are groove-billed anis and lesser roadrunners?

Answer from last week's question:
The bird that has squirrel in its name is the squirrel cuckoo, so named because it hops from branch to branch and tree to tree like a squirrel.
