Killdeer with Chicks

Killdeer
I didn't have any time for birding this morning, but I did get the opportunity to walk around my office parking lot a little before driving home this afternoon.  I had heard a Pileated Woodpecker from my office window, so I went out to find it--it's the first I've seen from my office parking lot.  But as I was walking by the lake, I noticed a Killdeer was out with two little chicks.  I immediately lost interest in the woodpecker and decided to focus on the Killdeer chicks.  I was able to go down to lake level without alarming them, and I spent a few minutes photographing them before getting in my car.  I hope to see them again in better light, but a few of my photos are worth sharing.
