Yesterday I took the three-wheeler and trailer out to the
front pasture to pick up rocks.
Up at the top near the fence I see this bird hopping around.

At first, I really though this gal was injured and
was contemplating if I should try to catch it and
try to help or just leave it alone.
Mama bird was getting more agitated all the time so I
got out of there and continued on with my rock picking.
She is back on the eggs in this pictures.
Glad I brought my camera with me.
You never know what you might see.

Yup, she was trying to distract you away from her nest. Isn't nature a treat. You got some awesome pictures.
Have a great day
Kellie, that was a classic broken-wing "act" that the Killdeer mamma bird will do in order to distract predator from her egg nest. Isn't that amazing that a mama Killdeer will do that? A Killdeer is a pretty bird.
PS. Since my dad was a Biology teacher, I had to learn all the birds and wildflowers that grow native to Wisconsin!!!!
Kellie, her act fools animals too!
It is amazing how mamas will give a lot for their babies.
