Killdeer

KILLDEER

 In Florida, this killdeer was prancing in the grass near an alligator relaxing in the sunshine. This little guy likes to yell his own name: a fast, high-pitched "kill-deer kill-deer kill-deer" call. Some of the distinguishing features to ID this bird include the red eye ring, dark necklace and rusty tail. There is also a white strip on the forehead with a higher black strip.
