"Broken Wing"

Location: Earth » North America » United States » Illinois » Sangamon County

Date: April 15, 2008

This killdeer got nervous after I started taking pictures while it was sitting on a nest, so it got up, walked a few feet, and then went into their well known "broken wing" act to distract me from the nest site even though the nest at this time was still empty.
