This morning we went to a game land sand walked around a small lake. There was a killdeer walking along the shore and calling loudly. Then we saw the 4 baby killdeer that were running back and forth. Today was a good day.

A baby killdeer practicing an arabesque. It doesn't quite have the "graceful" part down yet, but that's okay; when you're this adorable, you can be forgiven anything! 🤎

Can't believe I saw this in a parking lot of a NY Thruway rest stop.

The grackles were less cooperative than this killdeer.

Another killdeer has set up her nest in the parking lot. Despite dogs, cars, and people, she’s laid two eggs. Cone are their for her protection.

More on the trail!
What washes up, a couple of birds, and something that looks too much like a rattlesnake on Rattlesnake Ridge.


Trying to figure out what hashtags are needed is always too much. yeah.

Went to the zoo; got good photos of the local birds, like these killdeer. This is the first time I've seen them.

The wind was blowing so hard it made watching those brave enough to take flight entertaining. A Turkey Vulture was using its large wings to glide and a red-tailed hawk somehow managed to hover after being blow off the branch it was perched on.

Killdeer

Ben and Charlie just brought me back from our walk. It's definitely warming up, gnats me followed for the whole walk.

While we were out, we came across this killdeer and I took some photos. There is an overcast today so there was a lot of noise in the original photos so there's a loss of detail. But I see these birds around every year so there will be other opportunities.

"A shorebird you can see without going to the beach, Killdeer are graceful plovers common to lawns, golf courses, athletic fields, and parking lots. These tawny birds run across the ground in spurts, stopping with a jolt every so often to check their progress, or to see if they’ve startled up any insect prey. Their voice, a far-carrying, excited killdeer, is a common sound even after dark, often given in flight as the bird circles overhead on slender wings." - allaboutbirds.org
