Killdeer (Series)
I heard this Killdeer when I was strolling around the Terra Nova Nature Area in Richmond, British Columbia (created as a replacement for natural bird habitat that was lost when the 3rd runway was constructed at Vancouver International Airport). In the usual Killdeer fashion, it alternately hid in plain view by crouching down in the grass, or ran away, leading me on a merry chase across boggy ground and open ditches. I'm sure it was fun for the bird. I love the way they stand on tip-toe to avoid getting their feet wet.
