Killdeer

This is one of the parents that has chicks running along the river and they were very watchful, trying to lure me away from the chicks.

Excellent photo. I think the name is simply because they say "killdeer, killdeer" when they are flying, and has nothing to do with killing deer.

Danke, Volker, ich hatte Glueck, der Fluss ist nicht sehr breit. Ja, es ist ein Keilschwanz-Regenpfeier.

Thanks, Ron.

I explained the name by saying the call of the birds sounds like a deer is being killed.
