A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Charadrius vociferus
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 eyering.
The killdeer frequently uses a "broken wing act" to distract predators from the nest. This one was performing very well to draw me away down the street.
The cornell website has the voice recording.
