This Killdeer decided to fly down the middle of the road in front of me.
It finally landed on the hillside and let me by.
Then it waited for me to drive on a mile or two to Indian Hill Camp ground, where I turned around.

I took these out of the car window.

I took a while before I caught it on an “up” head bob…
A good site I found for identifying birds in /\/\onTana! is:
http://www.birdzilla.com/nifty-fifty/montana.html
It has a “nifty-fifty” guide for each State of the 50 most common birds, with video and song files. You might have to just go through the whole list of birds for that State, but you could find it! If you have a photo and want to know what a bird is, you can submit the photo to: http://www.namethatbird.com/
