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
