Great set of some rare subjects, Doug. thanks for sharing. #1,2 and 3 are my picks. Herb


Thank you Herb, I went back the day after I took these and they had all departed, so much for follow up shots.

Heck Doug, I thought these kildeer just hatched into adults, had no idea they were ever chicks I can remeber seeing eggs and the parents and never ever seeing a chick, cool fun shots. That chick has got some sweet legs and a great bobble head

Karl


Thanks Karl. Bobbleheads for sure, they squawk just like their parents do, and the head definitely bobs up and down when they do, it's hilarious to watch!

way too cute Doug, love these colored little cotton balls on legs


Thank you Dave, they are so small, yet look exactly like the adults, these were about 36 hours old.

Those were outstanding! They look so fragile.

Great images. Brings back many memories as my Brother and I would see these by the hundreds as kids in Kansas many years ago. Killdeer seem to nest everywhere and anywhere. Somehow they defy the odds.


Thanks Bill. They camoflage while nesting certainly improves their odds.

Great shots Doug. Mom Killdeers are extremely protective of their young. Nice shots of these fuzzy little guys. Verno


Thanks Vern, you're right about the Mom, they can sure make a ruckus!
