Well, they hatched. Now that the kids are enjoying their summer break, there are killdeer roaming all about the fields. And they're busy keeping an eye their cute little wee ones. See?
It turns out that mom and pop killdeer aren't particularly enthused with the paparazzi pursuing their progeny, and well, neither are said progeny. Here's one scurrying away from me.
They have been taught to run to the tall grass and hide from danger...
....or if they can't get to the tall grass, duck down and be very, very still. See how close I got?
Needless to say mom was highly unimpressed with me.
