Title
Killdeer In Flight
Artist

Medium
Photograph - Digital Art
Description
The Killdeer is a difficult bird to photograph in flight due to its very fast movements. However, I managed to capture this one quickly as I heard its call and saw its movements to my right.
"The adult Killdeer has mainly brown upper-parts and white-under-parts, however, notice the two black breast bands (upper one continues as a narrow collar) and striking black and white markings on face. Its bill is slender and dark, and pale legs. The juvenile is similar to adult, but black elements of plumage are brown or dark brown and, initially, for a period, it has just one breast band."
"Habitat is common and widespread in summer across much of the region south of the Arctic, favoring short grassy areas, including urban sites, such as roadside verges, golf courses, parks, lakes and playing fields. Migrates south in fall and winters in southern half of region. Seen in the vicinity of water far less frequently than most shorebird family members."
Range includes California, Northwest Plains, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Texas, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Florida, Western Canada, Alaska, Southeast, Eastern Canada.
