Killdeer Calling

On my way to work each morning, I pass by this cattle pasture. During the fall and winter months, this area fills with water and shares some great reflections of the morning sky. Well, today I left for work a little early and brought my camera along. I had to crawl under a post and cable fence to access this pasture. It was still dark and I forgot my headlamp so I carefully made my way across the pasture to this pond. Though I couldn't see it, the smell of manure was pretty fresh. I was amazed as the light and colors grew in the sky. While making photos, I saw some Mallards circling the pond looking for a place to rest and I can hear the Killdeer calling, probably warning others that I was in the area.
