Killdeer with Chicks

Charadrius vociferus

Habitat:

Grassy field surrounded by a pine forest.

Notes:

Been watching this pair for a few weeks now and this all four of their eggs hatched. I'll try to get better photos later, but you can see one chick in the first two photos, and the last egg in the third photo. The male in photo four is trying to lure me away with the old injured bird routine. The last photo is the female with all four chicks trotting after her.

I added a photo to show the female with all four of her new chicks following her.
