Mountain Killdeer

A Killdeer hangs out on a tufa formation as the Sierras loom in the distance. I felt very lucky to get this shot. It took 5 minutes of bellycrawling to get in close enough, but this Killdeer was remarkably tolerant as I crawled around lining up this shot.

Voice at the Water’s Edge

I spotted this killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) across a Texas lake, standing on one leg on a muddy bank along the opposite shore.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Golden hour on the wetlands. 🪶 Watching this Killdeer forage among the reeds as the setting sun turns the water to gold. There is such a quiet, painterly beauty in these small moments. The perfect way to end a day of birding! ✨
