Why it matters
The killdeer is a widespread North American plover recognized for its distinctive two breast bands and its habit of nesting in open, gravelly ground. Its name derives from its high-pitched, repetitive call, which serves as a clever distraction technique as the bird feigns injury to draw potential threats away from its nest.
