Killdeer - acting out boken wing decoy

Greg... Please describe your story behind this spotting in description.. let every user learn about these cute bird from your story...Take your own time...!!

AshishNimkar I got too close to its babies, they put on the display to try and make you chase after them. They lure you away from the young.

Look like taking Sun Bath.

Sure wish I could find some owl nests around here :-)

That's adorable! I've seen one do that act to a tour bus!! Be careful around owl nests...they actually can do some damage, and they're just as vigorous!! (a little experience, there!) ;-)

http://www.projectnoah.org/users/Goody I know what you are saying, I was taking pictures of tree swallows and one thought it was a ninja. It waited until my back was turned and bomb dived at my head. The thing was relentless and attacted my face as well. I had to jab my camera and telephoto lens at it to keep it from pecking my eyes out. It chased me about 50 yards away from its nesting area. Absolutely hillarious and never had any other act that way. Maybe it had mad cow disease - Ha ha.

Thes are so fun to watch. They put on an amazing display. When you get so close to them they fly off a short distance and start the act all over again in order to get you away from their babies or nest.

This is so adorable, I feel like I'm going to cry! Wonderful shots!

I enjoy this show SO MUCH better than the mockingbird that hit me in the back and chased me for getting too close to its nest. ;-)

Wonderful series. She's so convincing!
