This ended up being a pretty friendly Killdeer. I saw him about 20 yards off so I sat on the ground and just started taking photos of him as he foraged for insects in the grass. He just started walking towards me and kept on coming close enough that I couldn't fit him in the frame and in one of the photos you can actually see my reflection in his eyes. I thought for sure he'd come within the MFD of the 500PF but he stopped just short.

After he got his closest he slowly went back the way he came and I waited until he was far enough where I wouldn't spook him when I got up and left.

Wow it let you get very close. 4, 5 and 6 are my picks for the angle and closeness

Excellent close up shots! Your technique seems to work since the bird was not afraid to approach.
