I love kildeer, and especially their "mini me" babies! It's a nice reminder even in suburban areas that wildlife is close by.

kildeer are my favorite bird. i remember running around in my yard/horse pastures in central Iowa, US hearing their calls and chasing their flocks. i always called them the "iowan seagulls" due to their similar talkativeness. they hold a special place in my heart, thanks for this video!

I’ve been birding for literally 58 years, work as a birding guide, and still love seeing Killdeer whenever I’m out. I have seen and heard quite a few at night.

Love killdeer! They are such fun birds to watch. My husband likes to joke "Like many small birds they seem to have a lot of drama in their lives." There are quite a few living in the parking lot of a nearby nursing home that has a large retention pond. Workers often place orange traffic cones and tape to protect killdeer nests that the birds have wisely placed in gravel strips in the middle of the parking lot. Thank you for the video! Very informative.

When I was living in Nevada, we had a pair nest in or close to our yard. We never saw the nest, but we had a great time watching the two parents with the four mini me babies running around in our yard. I got a few pictures and videos. They aren't great because of their natural camouflage, even in greenish yellow grass.

I used to walk around a track during my lunch break at a company where I worked as a contractor on and off over a period of 10 years. A large flock of killdeer was always there on the grass in the middle of the track (a soccer field) or in the landscaping along the edge. They would sometimes do the injured wing thing. I loved them. I called them The Permanent Killdeer, as I was just a contractor there.

@fortunateaura

See and hear them every day around my apartment complex which is near open fields…several of them around. have become my favorite birds

Went out to a bug reservoir a few months ago and saw a ton if killdeer for the first time! They are adorable to watch but very flighy so be patient and don't expect to get close. Would love to see those cottonball babies!

@jtwanderer6328

I really enjoy these looks at a specific bird. I think Killdeers may have been one of my gateway birds when I was a kid because of that broken-wing display and bobbing head. Thank you!

@debbiebriscoe6169

My first time to ever see one because they, she, made her nest in our driveway. I did not know what kind of a bird she was until our neighbor identified her for us. She is so darling. I am really excited about her being here do you have her babies, concerned about our driveway and somebody running over her. I loved your video. Thank you so much.

@mattheide2775

I did not know Killdeer were shore birds. Thank you for the video

@cordeliaalderman391

I absolutely love them, and I love their piping calls.

@ESan-yq1tm

Very good video. Thank you. Here in the archipelago of Puerto Rico the Killdeer is a common sight in open field areas. Beautiful bird. In Puerto Rico the Killdeer is called: Playero Sabanero.

@ExplorationMary

My first Killdeer was yesterday at a golf course on Merritt Island Florida.

@joepatrick-xp4fy

I first saw killdeer when I was working on a sod farm. I’m still a equipment operator but for a dirt company now. I love how they follow the equipment their adorable.

@nancymills5993

I saw my first Killdeer family when I was around 8 years old. The babies had just hatched and I spotted them scooting through the short grass. It was quite a sight and 65 years later I have seen many more adults but will never forget the excitment of seeing that family. They are amazing birds!!

@michaelsimko7694

I like Killdeer. I live in an urban area in southwestern CT just 3 miles from the shoreline. I'm very familiar with seeing and hearing these birds for most of the year. There's a very large city park along the shoreline that is a very common site to see and hear Killdeer from March to November. I've even seen nesting sites and juveniles in gravel sections of the park that were at one time a dump. In the downtown section of the city is a bus terminal that's right near a lower tidal river. There's an abandoned parking area alongside a stretch of that river right near the bus terminal that Killdeer are commonly seen and heard at. If I were to be around there after sunset on a pleasant evening in mid to late March, I'd normally hear a Killdeer calling from the abandoned parking area.
Killdeer are one of a few short-distance migratory birds to nearly year-round birds in my area that signify the warmer temperatures and longer daylight once I begin to hear them in March.

@temperhollow7716

I just saw a pair of Killdeer in the park yesterday, and they are so lovely. I enjoyed the facts that you provided.

@stevep7476

Killdeer was my first tick on my first US visit to Texas.

@robynwinston9026

I was first introduced to killdeer last year when we were purchasing our new home. There was a nest that had to be moved to make way for the driveway. The construction team moved the nest, but the birds abandoned it. This year, we've found another nest and I'm so excited! I'm trying to keep an eye on it so hopefully I get to see some "cottonball" babies soon! Very cool species!
