"I enjoyed Joe Lynn Barbee's angry bird Killdeer photo. It jogged my memory of a similar picture I took a few years ago. We were in the Russell Springs City Cemetery taking pictures and I came upon a Killdeer nest in an old rotting stump. One of the parents did the "injured bird" act, hopping away from the nest dragging it's "broken" wing (it kept looking back to make sure I was following). I played along but doubled back to take a peek at the nest and there was another parent there still on guard duty and I got a picture of it in defensive mode." - DARRYL SMITH Comments | Permalink
