George the Killdeer

I'm a real killdeer living mostly at Lake Murray, (I'm not an official representative for Mission Trails Park). Let's bird talk about San Diego birds and beyond

There are lots of killdeer at Lake Murray right now. Some of us have chicks. Please be kind.

I found out recently that the gosling raised by sandhill cranes in Kensington Park, MI died at about 2 months old. Many think he had a flying accident as cranes and geese learn to fly over different surfaces. I visited Kensington earlier in that year, but did not see him.

@dunemovie Hi. Are there going to be killdeers in this movie? I was in Part 1, but I didn't get any requests to do this one. BTW, they haven't paid me yet. I was supposed to be paid 100 pounds of mealworms.

I'm watching the latest Dune movie. I guess there's killdeer on Caladan, the Atreides homeworld. I guess those little birds get around.

I'm thankful I'm not a turkey.

@BalliettBrad When you see killdeer pop their heads up quickly, this is what they're doing. They are looking around. Their brains can process visual information very fast.

Handsome Killdeer pair

Have you seen the junior duck stamp winners? They're really great! I wish they would have categorized them by age, though.

Beautiful female killdeer at Lake Murray.

I'm at San Diego Earth Fair where I picked this up. The artwork is by Haiwa Wu.

I heard it's #WorldCurlewDay! When are they going to have a World Killdeer Day or World Plover Day?

A new video I made today. Just Out of the Nest https://t.co/PsMLYjCGUf via @YouTube

No ducklings at Lake Murray, yet. However, the geese are acting stupid crazy. I think we had an attempted nest stealing this morning.

[George the Killdeer @killdeergeorge]

There were some other killdeer that looked like me and Martha in our old territory. They weren't us, though. I think they're just visiting.

@shouldhaveaduck You say: Awww, how cute. Then, you gently direct them out of the store to as safe a spot as possible. And, you don't let people touch or crowd them.

When the temperature plummets, ptarmigans create snow caves to keep themselves warm. Learn more in this episode of @BirdNote radio: https://t.co/UbVhfKyx7Q

[George the Killdeer @killdeergeorge]

We had a bunch of birdwatchers here this morning. I don't know where they were from, though. They didn't seem to speak Killdeer.

[George the Killdeer @killdeergeorge]

It's been hot here lately.
