Killdeers will call loudly trying to get your attention if you are near their nest -- always from a safe distance, of course, but just close enough to entice a predator. If that doesn't work they will lay down and pretend they are injured. Of course, somehow the "injured" bird manages to stay just out of reach.

They are interesting birds Jeff. When they are actually on there nest they are extremely hard to spot. They blend in so well with the environment. They are the first bird I have ever seen that will let you get so close ( except ducks, geese, pigeons, and Russet sparrows ) to take a picture of them. Nice capture.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
