Just me and my shadow

A killdeer hangs out in fresh snow after an early spring storm. Taken at Barr Lake State Park, Colorado State Parks two weekends ago.

A pair of these were surprisingly tolerant and allowed me to get some nice captures, this being my favorite of the session. Usually these birds take off screaming and making a racket if you get anywhere near them. I jokingly call them the most annoying bird on the Colorado plains for the noise they make.
