Here is a killdeer bird, on one of Ste-Luce-sur-mer beaches.

I have been trying for a long time to make a decent shot of this bird, well distributed in our province.

Difficulty was, here at home, that I would meet them mainly on the golf courses.

Looks like these birds can quickly sense a golfer abilities, they take off rapidly in my presence.

Here is a juvenile, pretty good camouflage skills.

Here in Ste-Luce, they are not scared: they don’t get to see me with my 7 iron in my hands.
