Beak Open Calling Plover Plovers
Killdeer - The Master of Deception Strikes a Pose in Pennsylvania!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, CAN-2138 (Killdeer) steals the spotlight with its distinctive double breast bands and an open beak that seems to scream "kill-dee!". This mischievous bird is a common sight in meadows, farm fields, airfields, lawns, shores, and riverbanks across North America. Known for its clever tricks and loud piercing calls, this Killdeer has mastered the art of fooling intruders. With a nest on open ground usually found on gravelly surfaces, it's not afraid to put on an Oscar-worthy performance. Watch as it feigns a broken leg or wing to divert attention away from its precious eggs! John Cancalosi's incredible wildlife photography captures the essence of this American avian trickster perfectly. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this single Killdeer to life before our eyes. So next time you're strolling through Pennsylvania's picturesque landscapes or exploring nature's wonders elsewhere in the United States, keep your ears tuned for that unmistakable "kill-dee" call. And if you happen upon a Killdeer with mouth wide open like CAN-2138 here - don't be fooled by their act! They may just be trying to protect their hidden treasures nestled right beneath your feet. Remember: when it comes to survival tactics and show-stopping performances in the wild kingdom, nobody does it better than our feathered friend - the cunning
