Description
Common Plover - Original Photography by Karol Livote
Killdeer is a common plover and shorebird. Even though it is a shorebird, you can be sure to see this graceful plover in parking lots, lawns, golf courses and athletic fields.
These tawny birds run across the ground in spurts, stopping with a jolt every so often to check their progress, or to see if they've startled up any insect prey. Their voice, a far-carrying, excited kill-deer, is a common sound even after dark, often given in flight as the bird circles overhead on slender wings.
This Killdeer was enjoying the lawn at a local pond in Orange, Connecticut.
