The Killdeer is a shorebird with the longest (temporary) stay in these latitudes. It is common here from (perhaps) March to September. I saw my first ones on the second of April. Indeed, there were five of them, but never close enough to appear together in a picture.
The Killdeer is a shorebird with a red eye ring.
It has two black bands on its head and two on its breast.
And has long wings.
Thank you for Killdeer ID101…I will now know who is running along the beach!
A remarkably obliging bird, Alistair, to assume the perfect pose for each of your physical descriptions. So well done.
