Killdeer chicks are adorable. I can't resist visiting them almost daily, but so as not to bore you too much, this should be a final post on their progression.
They are growing into their wings...
and learning to stretch them out...
Little puffballs on stilts!

Nice pics Hannibal. Killdeer are fun creatures to watch. Especially when the adults do the broken wing routine to keep you away from a nest or the youngsters. New to your blog, I like it.
Excellent set of images! They're just the cutest little critters.
You would never bore me with the killdeer stories Hannibal! I know them well after watching a mom raise her young at my northern home. I'm SO glad the mink missed his shot with the little one. Great photography and would love to see them in their first flights!
Thanks!!!!
Wonderful photos, Peggy. If I were in this situation, I could not resists documenting them as much as possible. Keep the photos coming.
Wow very cool follow up!!! Excellent pictures..
Not boring at all Peggy! I love watching the killdeer as well although I haven't gotten any chicks this year. The expression you captured with the last shot is priceless!
