A Killdeer

Thank you for the comment, Jay. Getting clear shots in nature photography is always a challenge. I took at least 50 shots of this bird, most of which were not even acceptable images for me. You replied before I finished this upload. Check out the video and the sound clip. Thanks again, Jay.

Isn’t that a great video displaying the bravery of this little bird to protect its young. This was a fairly easy image to capture, because the bird came to me, to distract me from where ever the young were. It worked! Thank you Von. I love being on your watchlist.

Thank you so much, Jay. I had a lot of fun doing this, and I hope others will appreciate my efforts as you have.

Thank you, Blair. I didn’t know about the broken wing act until I researched this bird. I love the call too.

Thank you, shellbee.

Thank you, Loirlee. I am glad you liked this one and that you commented.

Thank you, Jesika. Did you see the broken wing video?

Thank you, Linda.

Glad you like the shot and info, Ann. I am now trying to add links to other information on my bird shots. Thank you.

Thank you, Antanas.

Thanks, Andy. I had fun adding the video and sound clips to the description of this cool bird.

Thank you very much Dave and Trena. Glad you like it.

Thank you, Arvy. I think this is something I will do on more regular basis, that is add links that support the image.

You are fortunate, Jesika. I would love to witness a plover fooling a predator with the broken wing act.

I am sure this one had young near a pond I sometimes visit, because she/he came to me. I didn’t get the broken wing act, but I am sure she was trying to distract me away from the pond. Thank you, Kelly.

I do have a big gun for this shot. Earlier, I had used a smaller lens (400 mm) with this bird, but the shot didn’t fill the frame as this one did. I could not get the shots I do without my longest lens. Thank you Karen for a great comment and fave.

Thank you, Hagen.

I love wetlands too, Elaine. I get so many great shots around them. Thank you.
