Killdeer <br />Color guide <br />red ring around <br />eye and gray bill <br />white <br />brown crown, <br />eye and back <br />peach <br />brown crown, <br />eye and back <br />gray <br />orange <br />wing tips <br />Killdeer are shorebirds that are <br />more often seen in lawns, golf <br />courses, or harvested fields than in <br />wet areas. They hunt on the ground <br />by running and stopping to pluck <br />up worms, grasshoppers, and <br />even seeds. An adult killdeer will <br />pretend its wing is broken to draw <br />predators away from its nest. <br />
