A Queltehue (Southern Lapwing) and baby, Chile’s fierce sentry. These vigilant parents use sharp wing spurs and piercing cries to guard their camouflaged, ground-running chicks.

These beautiful birds, known as Southern Lapwings, are highly territorial. A male & two females have lived in my backyard for many years.

¡En garde!
The #Southern #Lapwing or #queltehue, as they're called in Chile, are very territorial but, in this case, they had recently hatched babies on the ground and this is when they get most defensive. Which is why, as I got closer with my camera, the talons came out.
