A Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) in the shallow water of the San Jacinto Wildlife Area in Riverside County, southern California.  This very common medium-sized plover is resident from northern Mexico throughout the United States and southern Canada.  Some of the population migrates north to breed in far northern Canada, and some birds migrate south to winter throughout Central America and northern South America.  The apt species name is indicative of its loud, oft-repeated calls.
The killdeer is a large plover found in the Americas. It was described and given its current scientific name in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae. There are three subspecies. The killdeer's common name comes from its often-heard call. Its upperparts are mostly brown with rufous fringes, the head has patches of white and black, and there are two black breast bands
