Killdeer


It's a good thing I've learned to take my camera with me everywhere. Lots of times I'll find I've hauled it around all day for no reason. But then I'll find a shot in the most random of places-- like this killdeer in the parking lot of the Jumparound Fun Zone, where I was taking the kids for some bouncy-house fun.

  1. Killdeer??? What a strange name for a bird.

  2. Rob and Mandy--
    It is, isn't it? They're named for the call they make, which sounds a little like that: "Killdeeeeer! Killdeeeeer!"

  3. I love finding photos in the most random of places! :) That's the best way to photograph. Such a cute little bird too...

    By the way... I envy your 'vegetarian-ness' :) ... I think I could do that if it weren't for steak... That's my kryptonite.

  4. That is a bird we actually see around here. But I am more intrigued by the Jumparound Fun Zone.! :-)

  7. Lizzi on the spot! I have a camera with me most of the time and I dream of coming upon that once-in-a-lifetime shot, but so far it has eluded me. I should be happy. What do you do after you get the OIAL shot and still have more life left?
