Wow, super photos. I love to listen to them call in the evenings.

Nice photos! Those little ones have the longest legs and are a bit clumsy.

Great photos! Now I must ask..."How in the world were you able to 'even' get close with a camera/lens?"...Back in '81 (a long time ago, lol) we were watching them trying to figure out where they had their nest so we could take a peek at their eggs. They did their distracting thing to 'mislead you away'...It was very intriguing and challenging...It was in an opening of sand dunes(in Florence,Oregon) which where we were, trees had been removed (to get to sand dunes)I think they were going to put in an RV Park eventually, and there were cabins there at the time, with which we lived in...I guess I just had to say that cos we were just beginning our family and couldn't forget the fondness and remembrance of a very nice place and beginning of a very rewarding life...We did finally find a nest on the ground but well after they had gone..just off the trail we'd go on...They did a good job keeping us distracted, lol....

I love those pictures. What does their call sound like, I wonder. There used to be a site where you can find the sounds of different birds. I'll go take a look. I saw some Kildeer at a shopping area north of here early in the summer- first I've seen in a number of years.

Like your pictures. There are some at the top of the street where I live but never see them here.

Juanita, used the zoom and I also cropped the second one. DH was mowing lawn, and she kept trying to distract him. He kept mowing, finally she just sat down in front of him. He looked, the nest was there, in the grass, so he put a stake there. He mowed around it until after they were hatched and moved. I get such a kick out of them!
