LOL Yeah they can get pretty obnoxious!! Come on over to my blog and see the Killdeer baby pictures that I took from egg to hatch!! They are still all around too!
Rev. Paul, I was looking for eggs and found three little babies instead. They were so cute and instantly invisible the second they stopped moving
RDA, I did and thanks! Such cute little guys. It was neat the way you followed the hatch
Cathy, Well, yeah, lol. I was trying to joke but.... I was very, very carefully watching where I walked and looking out for the usual four little pointed, very well camouflaged eggs and instead practically stepped on three little babies! I cannot believe how well they blend in!
Maybe they thought you were hanging out where they wanted a nest. That'll teach you to loiter in their neighborhood! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like their masks have slipped abit. Those black bands around their lower throats need to be lifted so as to mask their identity better.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't fall for any tricks they might pull either. They might just want to lure you in closer for an attack.

I haven't seen any here yet and I have been anxiously waiting for them!
ReplyDeleteOh man that's cute!
ReplyDeleteThey have to be THEE cutest little bird ever. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteThey are one of my favorite birds, such personalities.
ReplyDeleteLisa, they have been back since late Feb. here I think, but I couldn't believe how far advanced the nesting season is!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I was so tickled to see them. they were very close, but it was hard to get pics of them because they vanished whenever they stopped moving!
Shirley, I love them too
GEEZ great photos! Those are ONE VERY HARD BIRD to photograph!
