If you get close to the nest the Mother will flap her wing as if injured to veer you from the nest. Hoping (you) the predator will eat her before the nest. Oh and the sound! I taught my children to watch their footsteps carefully when they heard a Momma scream.

Lovely photos. I think it must have been hard to get a close-up.
