Sometimes it is because you are getting too close to the nest and they want to lead you away. They sometimes fake a broken wing and try to get you to follow them far away. After they are good and far they quickly fly away. Thank you for your nice words and Jeannelle's as well. Easy to mix these birds up with a ruddy turnstone. Good work!shutterhandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918371988820266386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096467.post-26040159224268032982009-05-07T10:17:00.000-05:002009-05-07T10:17:00.000-05:00He actually has three nephews in bands, last time ...He actually has three nephews in bands, last time I checked, and once had four.

Killdeer....I love 'em and their call that "compels". They are all over the place around here.<br /><br />Amazing that you caught that rare bird which I believe is a flightless type. Oddly enough, we have a few like that around here, too.<br /><br />You have another photographer in the family (great Flickr profile he wrote, especially the part about getting out and taking some pictures. Great advice! <br /><br />And, your nephew is in a band. My goodness, what an artistic and talented family circle you have!Jeannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506888396193293867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096467.post-50253162843977573372009-05-05T16:37:00.000-05:002009-05-05T16:37:00.000-05:00That is so interesting that you saw a killdeer.

Imagine my surprise when I looked out the window at work, and there was one peeping at the door. I think it saw itself and thought it was another bird. I had to go out to get the paper, and it ran away. It runs rather like some sort of sand piper. But it was wonderful to see it again.<br /><br />I think the other bird must have been a wonderfull thing to see. How strange to see it in that setting.troutayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890447950305607314noreply@blogger.com
