Every time I go out in my yard, this stupid bird starts circling my property and squawking loudly. I have no idea why.

Is it possible that this "stupid" bird might have a nest somewhere in your yard? Nice shot.

It could have a nest somewhere.. I have a few acres of property and some of that is covered with pretty thick bush.. But Godwits are supposed to nest in marshes and flood plains. The nearest marsh is almost 20 miles away.

I'll have to keep an eye out.. It would be nice to get photos of eggs or chicks.
