I have been able to capture Killdeer birds at various times this year including when I was in Colorado. This bird was pretending to be injured, it must have had a nest somewhat near but I did not ever see it. I liked this image because it showed off their red eyes in the evening sunlight.
ARe they the only birds that act the way they do when you are close to their nest?
ReplyDeleteOnly ones I have ever seen doing it. Not totally sure though.
