I was walking across a field at Concord Park in Knox County this morning when a 
killdeer got my attention by fluttering across the grass away from me.  When I 
stopped and scanned the ground carefully I discovered his mate sitting tight 
(presumably on a nest) just 10-12 feet in front of me.  I could have walked 
right over her though she likely would have moved before I stepped on her.  She 
kept an eye on me  while I snapped her photo and then carefully moved to the 
side to take another.  You can see the photos on my Flickr site starting at
