Description
Charadrius vociferus
These birds tend to be noisy and aggressive. They hang out on shores near water, and wade. I have many pictures of them. Found at Ina and Santa Cruz, Marana, Arizona, USA. These birds are fun to watch. If their young are threatened, one of them will pretend to have a broken wing to lure the predator away. You can see the resemblance between this bird and Michel's Plover. I think they are called "Killdeer" because that's what their cry sounds like.

Thank you for this upload, Pat... I really like your daily comments and our kind interactions on this site ! Indeed, your Kildeer (Charadrius vociferus) is looking a lot like my Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) !
Great photo my friend....!!!
