Kildeer Guarding Her Eggs
As I was walking through an area to photograph Texas wildflowers a mother kildeer made it clear that I was not a welcome guest. She was protecting her eggs. After I finished photographing flower I returned to the are with my camera settings ready. I wanted to make the photograph but I didn't want to make the bird anxious. I shot with a long lens and was able to get this image of the bird with her eggs.
