Dream Landing

Description

I often see Killdeer flying by (or, even more frequently, flying away), but this one flew toward me across a narrow channel of water and landed on a beach less than twenty feet away at Sandy Ridge Park in North Ridgeville, OH.  And then it gave an obliging Mary-Poppins-like landing (minus the umbrella, of course).  My camera is often challenged to autofocus on small birds in flight, but somehow even the camera collaborated on this one.  Fortunately, Killdeer have such a piercing staccato cry that one can always hear them coming.
