This Killdeer was photographed on 9/23/17 in my favorite bird photography puddle which is at Miller Field on Staten Island. Typically these birds are very shy and never allow me to get close but after about an hour of lying on my stomach in piles of goose and gull poop I was rewarded with a few passes from this Killdeer. This was my favorite shot from that evening. Taken on a cloudless evening shortly before sunset with just perfect light. Keep in mind the water is level but the water line behind is angled so the shot is leveled to the water the bird is walking in.
