As my husband was mowing the lawn, he noticed a bird flapping her wings and chirping at him like crazy as he came closer to a patch of grass nearby.
Thankfully, he heeded that mama bird’s advice and stayed away.
Our self-proclaimed “bird geek” friends told us she is a Killdeer:
awwwww.....glad he listened!

How sweet!
ReplyDeletevery cool pictures.
ReplyDeleteAww, Killdeer are so funny to watch, my mom had one nest in her gravel driveway once and whenever we visited it would try like crazy to lead us away by acting hurt. Silly mamma! So glad your hubby listened to her :)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what mommas will do to protect their young!

ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty bird with those black and white stripes! I'm glad your hubs didn't get dive bombed!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome - what a find!
ReplyDeleteWe used to have killdeer in our yard when I was growing up. I always thought they were a neat bird. Good thing Momma Bird protected her babies. :)
