Killdeer Juvenile

The highlight of a brief walk this afternoon,

… was this Killdeer juvenile.

Here taking a brief timeout along the edge of the pond.

Then moving off to continue foraging.

While the juvenile was wondering around on its own, the adult was roosting on this log.

It was calling continually and occasionally displaying an alert posture. The adult eventually rejoined the juvenile once it was on the opposite edge of the pond.
