Go Away!
I'm Big and I'll Hurt You

Killdeer protecting its four, very camoflauged, eggs. (Look closely in the bird's shadow.)



No birds or eggs were harmed in this shot; I wasn't as close as it appears.


other sizes: small medium original auto

WOW!!!
What a great shot. I've never seen a kildeer that close-up. Look at her red rimmed eyes.

Did she run away with one wing dragging to lure you away from the nest? That is their usual tactic. Faye
