Seems like forever since I've posted in here. A pair of Killdeer decided to nest in the parking lot where I work and this is 1 of 4 end results. They left the nest today and I was lucky enough to catch this one before they disappeared. This little guy was in the parking lot frantically trying (and failing) to climb over the curb to get into the grass to join his parents and siblings. I was able to approach the bird, get a finger underneath him and help him climb over the curb. After getting into the grass he stuck around just long enough for me to get a few shots off and then ran to his family. It was a great moment and I was so happy to help him along.
