While walking my dogs yesterday they flushed out a Killdeer. The bird went into its nest protection routine, flying low and hopping along the ground to lure them away from the next. My dogs totally took the bait. When they lost interest he started screeching and flopping on the ground like he was wounded. After he got their attention again, he went back to hopping and flying. When they were 100 yards from the nest he took off, flew a circle around us 50 feet in the air and chattered at us like we were fools. I wonder if birds can laugh? What a performance!
