We went to Blue Grass stripper pit area today and I finally got to see a baby Killdeer!
It was just as cute as I thought it might be :-) It seemed to be all by itself, which surprised me. I figured there should be a parent nearby.
For comparison....an adult Killdeer.
This adult was at the opposite end of this large parking lot and didn't seem to be connected in any way to the baby.
The little one obviously couldn't fly yet and just scurried around from spot to spot.
"Do you know where my mother is?"
It really was adorable.....just a puff of feathers on long legs....with stripes :-)
He was scurrying around and through the puddles.
It didn't seem to like going in the grass. I sure hope it knows how to feed itself!

Oh how sweet... Don't you know just how scared he must have been... But---he's so cute... I love him.
Glad you went back to see him... I'm sure he'll learn to fly and eat soon... Hope the parents come back and help him some...
Hugs,
Betsy

How cute. I am sure mom was watching from somewhere nearby.
Lovely. Thats a cute baby Mary.
Cute! Around here the crows seem to manage to get most of the killdeer eggs so it is good to see a baby one ... A survivor.
You got some wonderful pictures of the young killdeer. I would say that your trip to Blue Grass was a big success.
Great pictures again! Thanks for commenting on my blog - I checked out Betsy from Tennessee's and she has some fantastic photos herself!
Very Cute baby Mary just the kind of Baby my wife loves too :)
I've never seen a killdeer baby! It's just precious! How fortunate you were to find him!
Thanks everyone! It really was such a cute little thing. I was so happy to see one and hope it survives.
I've never seen a baby Killdeer. What a doll!
How did you ever get it to hold still for so many pictures? They are always on the move.
The Butterflies on your sidebar are just awesome!
