These are excellent. I've never had any luck catching them in flight. You really nailed these.

These are great....I was just about to type exactly what Mike said, I've also had no luck whatsoever getting any killdeer in flight.

WOW! we have a pair of these nest in our driveway every year. Easy to photograph defending the nest, not so much flying (or me at least)

Very nice shots

Outstanding flight work Ruhikant. Not an easy bird to lock-on to.
