Unacceptable Rypstra
019 (2) Ruse
A Killdeer preforming the broken wing display to make sure I don't find the nest at Esquimalt Lagoon, BC. I didn't want to stress it unduly, so I snapped a few shots, then moved off along the trail. The nest was so well disguised among stony grass between the road and I, that I never saw it. I was hoping it would show me where the nest was if I moved far enough away, but the foot traffic on the path was busy enough, that this bird was also kept busy preforming.
