Day 158

Closer to home, I found a couple killdeer up behind Giant Springs this morning.

(1/1000, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 100, -1/2 stop)

He was puffing himself up trying to distract me from the chicks (I wasn’t near the nest) while I was changing my lens, then he never did it again…

(1/1500, f8, 400mm, ISO 250, -1/2 stop)

Then he flew off across the pond.

(1/4000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

(1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

Pretty good camoflauge!

(1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

Yup.  Really good camoflauge.

(1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

While he never puffed up again so I could photograph it, he did do the head-bob thing…

(1/3000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

Still trying to distract me, he ran off the other side of the road.

(1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop)

I say he, but there was a pair of them trying to distract me.
