Killdeer are one of the most common plovers in urban areas, but they are typically so hard to see if they aren't making a bunch of noise. Did you know that the Killdeer's scientific name translates from latin roughly as talkative sandpiper? Charadrius is the family of sandpipers and voiciferous speaks for itself. If you know the bird well you would probably agree. This bird was on the beach at White Rock just off from the pier. Michael Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
