Killdeer

 They’re found on golf courses, fields, even parking lots. 

It’s a shorebird but it doesn’t need a shore. 

In fact, it makes its nest out of stones, in gravel.

(Not my photo this time.)

 

It’s a member of the plover family and it looks and acts like a plover.  It can be around water, but unlike all the other plovers, it doesn’t need to be.
