Quote: Excellent shots Jim. Very impressive.
thanks Tom. I keep trying to get even close to some I have seen posted. JIM
Quote: If it let you get that close before it flew away, it was feigning injury to keep you away from it's young. It was a nesting female Killdeer and you were near her nest.

I can always count on this forum to learn a lot about birds. Thank you. JIM
Quote: Killdeers are funny birds. If your anywhere near their nest or young, they play like they are hurt, to distract you away from the nest / young.
I never seen this before. Now that I know, I find this bird very interesting and it will help taking pictures of it in the future. JIM
