Very cool shot! How far away were you from her? She doesn't look bothered by your presence!

This is a fabulous shot and has made my day! Killdeer are one of my fav birds to photograph. I love their eyes and markings. I have never seen the tail spread and eggs and such grace. You are very blessed to have gotten this shot! I love it! Were you able to go back to capture mama and the babies? blessings, Cheryl

Yes, I did follow them for about two months and posted many pics on Cornell University's Nest Watch website. It was amazing to see the eggs one day, and fully developed little birds running around the next. They're a very interesting species and I'm hoping they'll return next year.
