Bird Blurbs, Killdeer edition! The Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a pint sized shorebird found in North and South America (Sibley, 2016). Large relative to its plover siblings, this particular photo was taken at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Preserve, a place witch has become a local favorite of mine since the summer loops have opened up.

       (Nesting) Foraging and nesting on the ground, this natural colored bird prefers protein rich insects found in its grassland habitat.
