Keep still & she won't see you.

Uploaded: November 03, 2008

Description

This Plover didn't want me to see her 2 babies, so she called them & hid them when she heard me open the front door. I had to stay inside & take the picture through the window. Lens aperture F/3.7, shutter speed 1/158sec, focal length 63mm, taken at 6:30am this morning.
