Description
A Killdeer,Chatadrius vociferus, pulls a worm from the ground. Killdeers are shorebirds and found around bodies of water. They lay their eggs on the ground in shallow nests, usually with pebbles around them. If the nest is threatened, the parents flutter away, staying on the ground, from the nest with movements as if they have a broken wing to lure the predator. The Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a medium-sized plover. Adults have a brown back and wings, a white belly, and a white breast with two black bands. The rump is tawny orange. The face and cap are brown with a white forehead. They have an orange-red eye ring. The chicks are patterned almost identically to the adults, and are precocial � able to move around immediately after hatching. It is named onomatopoeically after its cry.[
