Charadrius vociferus
We found this nest and egg on a recycle bin. It had obviously been moved by some of the local kids.

So sad. Please consider adding this spotting to the Aimal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
How sad. Killdeer are such protective parents & the females will often feign injury to lure predators away from the nests. It is a strategy that doesn't work too well with kids unfortunately.
