One of the first harbingers of spring up here. I love to hear their call when they arrive. Great capture as they are pretty fast.

I love these birds. They are so funny running around.

great shot of the plumage and red eye, and on the road, too, since they're sort of a 'road runner'. :)

What a nice shot! Just love their markings and that red-ringed eye.

Nicely composed shot!

I love these little birds. They make such an interesting sound. You got a great shot of this one. I have a photo on my blog with a Heron and there are some of these little birds in the photo but of course I wasn't able to get up close enough to really capture them well.

Gorgeous! You got his red eye perfectly and the markings around his neck. The ones around here are a little fidgety so it's hard to get a clear shot. Nicely done!

Nice shot Brain. I always remember Killdeers as the bird that fakes the broken wing.

Amanda said...

lovely. the depth of field effect is fantastic.

Wonderful job capturing the detail of the Killdeer.

Is f/8 the sweet spot for the lens you used?

Splendid shot - nice example of why its good to get a low angle on the bird.
