This killdeer was very vocal, and active, I can only assume there was a nest hidden in the rocks or babies close by.

I watched where I stepped.

Thanks for your comments.

Nicely captured. I had one go through the broken wing act to lure us away.

I see a breathtaking photo like this, with a birdie that is simply stunning, and I could look at this all day. Superb result. Favorite.

I occasionally see these guys on our Missouri River sandbars, beautiful birds with unique markings, and a nice comparison to the terns out there and a contrast with the gulls, our ^flying pigs^. I do like your lighting control and focus, and your composition is excellent, placing the bird off-center, facing toward the majority of open space in the photo. The bird appearing in between those two grasses also gives it scale. All in all, Sandi, two thumbs up. I would give you more thumbs but that would make me a mutant.

Happy Trails

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

I have never heard of this bird, but you sure got a great capture of it.

Nice shot, Sandi! It has been a while since I have seen one around here. I liked watching them near the lake.
