Momma Killdeer

 Just standing around in the field. As I approach, she starts to walk away, then suddenly falls to the ground with a broken wing(or leg)(or both). I look the other direction and find the little furry ping pong balls on stilts.     I snap a few pictures while Mom’s injuries get more severe. An easy victim, she lures me off the other direction.  The little ones are safe. Mom feigns injury.  I feign being fooled.
