I have managed to get a few pics of the Killdeer bird. I have to watch where I walk so I don't step on a nest of eggs. They blend so well in with the rocks ... that it is hard to see them. The only clue you get that you are close is the broken wing act the adult Killdeer do to lure you to them. It is very entertaining to watch them chirp and flap their wings and tail to get you to follow them. I sat down next to a nest so I could get a pic or two of the birds. They came within about 3 feet of me and even became calm as long as I was very still. But as soon as I moved, they started the broken wing act again. They are a very fun bird to watch and they are here year round.
