Default killdeer and lesser yellow legs

I took these this Saturday at the local mud flats. It's been dry here in Ottawa which creates favorable conditions for shorebirds..

Always fun watching these guys and always a bonus to grap some pics!

Love the second shot, specially the reflection, the background is too busy in the first though.
