The morning was quiet, the water was calm and the killdeer was alone on the beach. Killdeer facts: Look for Killdeer on open ground with low vegetation (or no vegetation at all), including lawns, golf courses, driveways, parking lots, and gravel-covered roofs, as well as pastures, fields, sandbars and mudflats. This species is one of the least water-associated of all shorebirds. - All About Birds
