a mama killdeer

There’s only so much a zoom lens could do, so I started approaching this gorgeous killdeer and as I would get closer she began to spread her wings (showing her beautiful orange feathers seen in the top right) and begin chirping very loudly. It was only during a FaceTime call with my mom where she would tell me that the bird was probably doing that to protect her eggs. After a quick check at my photos, I realized she was right.
