I saw the parent running around the back field and thought there might be a nest with eggs near by. Wanted to see if the adult would do the in distress hurt wing dance. Then I saw this chick, snapped a few shots and left to not disturb them and bring unwanted attention to them.
"Killdeer chicks hatch with a full coat of buffy down feathers and a single black breast band. They can walk out of the nest as soon as their feathers dry." -allaboutbirds.org

The brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so I am able to shoot in the safety of my back yard.
1st time shooting Henry Big Boy X 357mag with all my Ranger Point Precision add ons. This is definitely my favorite gun now.😁
This is a little sunrise shot I took of my backyard and lean-to barn. I am an amature photographer mainly of birds and wildlife. I am here to share my photography and I hope you join me in my adventure.
