If you are not a birder you may not know that this bird is called a Killdeer. And now you might be asking yourself why this bird is called a Killdeer. That’s a question that I had as well when I first learned of the name. But it’s not an answer I care to find out. I think it’s funny that this little shorebird has the name Killdeer and I don’t want the answer to disappoint me. So I’m just going to avoid it as long as I can.

I’ve always been intrigued with the red in the Killdeer’s eyes. I’ve seen a lot of birds and it is a very unique feature for the Killdeer.
