<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=810045716-24052007>From the coast of
Lake Erie at Magee Marsh National Wildlife Refuge. I stumbled on this nesting
killdeer while walking the shore. While I was aware of the killdeer's mimicking
injury behavior, this bird behaved quite differently than those near my home in
Tennessee. My TN observations have always consisted of mimicking a broken wing
while leading the intruder away from the nest. This bird displayed the behavior
in this photo while attempting to lure me away from the nest. (It
worked!)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
