Killdeer broken wing act

Killdeer nest in the horse riding arena? The trainer marked it with a cone so people would ride around it. Here, one killdeer acts as though it is hurt and easy prey in order to try to lure me away from the nest on May 24. Eventually they settled into the riding routine, hatched out all four chicks June 11 and, that same afternoon, ran off with their parents to "greener pastures" for insects. Congratulations!

Killdeer - Charadrius vociferus - They certainly do make a vociferous "kill-deer" sound!
