birds - misc Killdeer

Good catch of the 'broken wings' act, I believe.  TFS!

I don't think is a broken wing,I think this bird arranges its nest.Only large view can show what nice details can be seen on feathers,I like the result.

Hi Tm, Hi Radu and thank you.

This bird performed fairly close to my two dogs and me and when it did run or fly off, it came back right away. Something was there, a nest no doubt, that I couldn't see and which it didn't want me to see, and that it wanted us to chase it and leave in the process was certain.  And you are both right: It did look part of the time like it was fluffing a nest; at other times it faked an injured wing. The photo is sort of an in between display. I've never been able to get close to Killdeers so it was a great event in my day.
