Six images of Mom, Dad and three baby killdeer. Whilst visiting my cousin, I was shown this little Killdeer family in their backyard.

Top Image: Two baby Killdeer near the nest site.


Dad doing his "broken wing" act to try to lure me away from the young and the nest.


The two youngsters running away towards Mom.


Mom surrounded by her three babies.


Mom calling over her babies. One already seeking refuge under her wing whilst another runs towards her to do the same. The third, however keeps its distance.


With two of her babies safely tucked away, Mom keeps calling the third. This bad boy, however had other ideas and kept running away from her.
