Killdeer at Cliffwood Beach

I went for a stroll down to the beach today and came upon a killdeer and her three tiny chicks. They were so cute. I just stood there while the mom shepherded them down the path and into the reeds.

I wish I had a nice zoom lens to snap that kind of picture for you, but I don't. Here's a photo of a killdeer and her baby that I found at Flickr.

If you walk your dog down at the shore, keep an eye out for these little critters for the next week or so.
