I've been trying to get a decent shot of one of these flighty fellows for some time now. Today was the day! :clap

What are you, part cat? That is really sharp, how close were you able to get? It looks like you are right on top of him.

Nice shot. These birds are actually quite photogenic. I really like the orange rim around the eyes. I have some killdeers in one of my galleries too. I haven't taken a good one of these guys in about two years because they so skittish (is that a word? :dunno).

Yes, I know it's Killdeer and not Kildeer. There is a little town where I grew up named like the one L version.

Very, very nice Ric. He sure is a pretty little fellow, thanks for introducing me. I've never seen one
