Paratrepsis On The Rocks

A Killdeer practicing a distraction display (paratrepsis), I must have been getting too close to its nest.

It's certainly showing displeasure...it's an interesting colour.

I love watching them. We have a lot of them in our parking lots. V

They are so protective of their nest, which is no more than a scraping on the ground. Birds are amazing parents. this is such a fine shot. V

I had to look this bird up, not a name I knew.
Amazing camouflage.

Terrific capture, Dennis. Such a brave parent! Excellent textures and colors, the bird perfectly blends in the stony ground. V.

Excellent capture. Those eggs are super difficult to see!
