Killdeer Pair

I'm back, my Flickr friends, and my struggling 95-year-old father has once again bounced back and is improving day by day. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers during these days...

 

I love photographing lone birds in beautiful settings, but to photograph a nesting pair of Killdeer is double the pleasure!

 

I haven't been able to find this couple's nest (their nests are always hidden in plain view despite being on the ground!), but I notice that they regularly come to this rocky shoreline along Lake Michigan to feed, preen, and rest.
