A very young Killdeer, not much body, but a lot of leg. I didn't like to get too close, the parent
bird was already excited, so these are very much cropped photos, even using a longer lens.
A tiny, tiny little thing, but it sure knew how to use those long legs. It scurried down the beach at speed.
What a cute little critter! I love these shots. We periodically have kildeers taking up residence on our property, once coming perilously close to nesting on our driveway. They make quite a racket, night and day.
