Nicely done, Dan!

Nice clean shot Dan. I also like the brown grasses in the FG and how they seem to be blowing the the BG. BTW, did you find the Owl's nest?

Beautiful

Catching! Nice low shot angle. I like how the background mimics the killdeer's markings. Exposure, contrast, color looks great. Only nit- possibly clone out part of the grass stem reaching up to the body behind its leg.

Perfectly captured, Dan. This is one of the best kildeer images I've ever seen!

Yeah, me too. You do such a good job keeping the exposures in check without 'blowing out' the whites.
I just love your bird photography!
