[TN-Bird] Cocke Co - Killdeer nest and defense

[Flickr] innisfree farm wants you to see somethingCosby Hwy, Newport, Cocke Co 
Sun a m, 3/29/09
The Killdeer is still sitting on eggs. (3 wks now)
I captured photos of both birds Sun a.m. defending the nest and feigning 
injury. (Link below)  One tried to lead me away from the nest by going one 
direction, then another.  When that didn't succeed, the other bird came to the 
nest and put on a brave front, while the first one was still acting crippled in 
the flowerbed.
If anyone would like, I can send a CD of all the photos original size (many 
more than the sample on Flickr.)
