Caught these guys dueling it out over a prospective nesting site as I left my office yesterday. There were actually three of them, but I could never get them all into the frame together. Signs of Spring are all around us!
Very nice light Dave, and you did a great job with the exposure. And you've shown good detail around the eye where it counts. Thanks for posting!

Hey Dave, you controlled the highlights well here and have good detail in the shadows. I like the comp with the fg bird sharp and the bg bird slightly oof. Kildeer are certainly an interesting bird to watch, especially around a nest. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bill and Wayne! I greatly admire the work both of you do so I appreciate your encouragement.
Killdeer seem to be one of those birds that are so common we tend to overlook them. I felt fortunate to catch these at this particular moment since their occupation with each other caused them to generally ignore me.
