The soft morning light is a plus Daniel. This is a species that a bird photographers don't really like to see between themselves and their intended subject. Killdeers are very wary and quick to sound an alarm that typically flushes the intended subject before the Killdeer itself takes flight.

Very nice light Daniel, it brings out the best in the nice earth tones in the feathers. Thanks for sharing. :smile:

Beautiful, as with all your shots, the sharpness and detail captured is fantastic.
