She was chirping to get away from her eggs

This is a killdeer, but terrific shots! I'm always amazed that this species does so well considering their choice of homesites

Thanks Linda, I wasn't quite sure what it was.
When in doubt, use Google image search. You might not be able to figure out what it is, but you'll know if it isn't - LOL

love these little birds. when the chicks are born if you get too close momma will get away from them and fake a broken wing to draw you or a predator away and then when you are far enough away she will go back to the chicks

Thanks Linda, that's what I did originally but I guess misinformation abounds on the web;)

a great site for bird ID is

I use them sometimes especially for the small birds as so many look very similar to one another

What a pretty little killdeer! Keep a watch for the babies. They are born with all their feathers and markings, and run after their parents immediately after hatching. Another good bird site:

It's a Kildeer, however nice shot. We had one laying eggs in our driveway once, and she put up quite a fuss every time we moved our cars out. We saw the eggs quite a few days and then they disappeared. We think a snake finally got them. It's a tough life being a bird!

Thanks! I usually use the Cornell U. Merlin bird ID on my phone, but the last few times I couldn't find ID the bird.
