The earliest I had seen a Killdeer before today was in mid-March. Indeed, Hinterland Who’s Who states “Killdeer reach southern Canada as early as mid-March…”
So, why did Cynthia and I see one at Kokanee Creek Park today? Global warming?
A Killdeer was seen at Kokanee Creek Park this morning.

This sure is early.
It was great to meet you and Cynthia on the trails this morning, enjoying the Trumpeter Swans, and viewing your preliminary photos of the Killdeer. Happy Trails! Anne and Stu
Thanks…next best to enjoying the Kildeer up close & personal is to view your fine photo!
I love that shorebird!!
We saw 2 Killdeer on Sunday at Selkirk College Trails in Castlegar.
