I spotted this guy whilst hanging around at the golf club yesterday afternoon waiting on hubby. I had to google him to find out what type of plover he was. An interesting name, I thought!
@anazad511 Thanks Ana, I've never noticed this type of bird before, but I am usually looking up, not down! @genealogygenie You're probably right, Kim, he/she was certainly looking very vigilant!
Wonderful pic, Issi! Love the muted earth tones (which are the killdeer's favorites too). I have these in abundance around my home; their plaintive call is often heard early morning or late evening.
These are real fun to watch - they'll play injured and try to get you to follow them away from their nest when they have babies - can walk awfully fast when they want to. Very nice shot of him.
Fantastic -- you've gotten such a clear view of him. We have these on Beaver Island and you've made me excited to look for one this summer when I get there.
Great shot! they love building their nest in driveways and near puddles. when surveying, I wrapped survey tape around a stake and put it near them to alert people of their presense! very well shot!
