- Description
- The killdeer is everywhere too common to need description, and even its name, called to us from roadside puddles, barnyard and meadow in the shrill kill-dee, kill-dee, kill-dee, becomes sometimes almost tiresome. “Vociferous at all times, the plover becomes doubly so when the little downy striped young are trotting about in the short grass. Then the cries and frantic endeavors of the old birds to limping, falling over, fluttering the speed wings and tail, and uttering low notes of pain, would be ludicrous if not done in tragic earnest.” — Vernon Bailey.
