We found this lonely killdeer on our hike. It wasn't until I got the photo home to my computer that I realized he has a deformed leg. Maybe that's why he was all alone. Nature can be cruel at times for sure.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
This is a sad scene, as nature will be hard on this little one. I do like how the bird blends into the background above and pops against the water in the reflection.
I think he is beautiful. Last time we owned hamsters, I deliberately chose the ones with the slightly odd eyes and the little runt of the litter. Something about being the ones left out that makes me want to take them home and look after them. I want to rescue this bird too. Wonderful photograph
Lovely detail on this little fellow and great reflection. We often see seagulls with deformed legs or missing feet and they appear to do well and aren't cast out. I hope this little guy will be ok.
So interesting how camouflaged the bird is in its real world setting, yet so distinctly clear in its reflection. I wonder what this means for how the bird is faring in its world?
