Caught this pair this morning. I got a several individual shots of the adults and two chicks but it took a while to get them togather finaly they made it after much encouragement from me. I know the lighting could be better but couldn't get to the other side of them. There are quite a few around and the chicks are growing fast.

Nice to get the two together, Kendall. There are distractions all over the place here, but you obviously did the best you could under the circumstances. Please post any additional shots you get of these guys.
Mothers with young almost always make for compelling spring pictures, if caught in the right light and situation. I like that you caught these two acting like shorebirds, as killdeer are often found in open fields and grassy parks, which don't make for great photos. On the other hand, my general standard for a quality bird photo starts with a clearly visible, sharp eye (or eyes), which is where I think this one falls a bit short.
