About the Killdeer:
The killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is one of North America's most recognizable shorebirds — though you're just as likely to spot one in a parking lot, farm field, or gravel rooftop as you are along a shoreline. Named for its piercing "kill-deer" call, this plover is famous for its dramatic broken-wing display used to lure predators away from its ground nest. With its bold breast bands, long legs, and tireless energy, the killdeer is a beloved fixture of open landscapes across the continent.
