It’s late now, but earlier this morning I saw this killdeer pretending to be injured. They do that to lure potential predators away from their nest or chicks. Maybe after deciding I wasn’t a threat, she scurried off, stopping every few feet, but I didn’t see any nest.
It looks like the draw a bird day hub is over here on Create Art Everyday now.

Beautiful painting :-). Such lovely earth tones – even your shadows have interesting tonal variations.
