Description
Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) are fairly common and widespread in the United States, and often found in small flocks on shores, meadows, wetlands, and in coastal open fields. Their double black breast bands, orange eye ring, and tawny orange rumps are very distinctive. They are medium-sized plovers, measuring about 10.5 inches in length and about 3.3 ounces in weight. They forage for food in fields, shorelands and mudflats, most commonly eating insects.
This adult Killdeer and its chick foraging on grass alongside a road were photographed at Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison, Connecticut on 7-9-2016. I used a Nikon D810 camera body and a Nikkor 500mm f/4.0E FL ED VR2 telephoto lens to capture this image.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
