Kildeer

Photos by Mrs. Frank


A few months ago my mom's friend texted her these photos and asked me to identify this bird. She had found this bird and these eggs at the park where her son plays baseball. This is a killdeer. Killdeer pretend they have a broken wing when they feel threatened. Their eggs have this appearance so that they blend in with rocks.

I recommend using the Merlin Bird ID app. It helps you identify birds. It asks you questions about what you saw and then it says what it could be.
