Late May is prime time for breeding birds on the northern prairie, and a responsibility comes with that. Photographers have unique opportunities to get great shots, but they also should be aware of potential disruptions they may cause to breeding cycles and make efforts to minimize these. No photo is worth causing harm to the critter. I knew there was a nest nearby, so I kept my visit brief.
