Killdeer

I wonder where they got their name from... They don't look like the kind of bird that would be capable of killing a deer

Nice capture! Not the sparpest shot in the world but I do like the composition!

Nice! I think the name comes from the sound they make.

The background is distracting ... a shallower DOF or a lower perspective may have helped with that ...

I love how they simulate/fake an injury to lure predators away from their nest. They are usually all over my sisters' houses, and make nests around the garages.
