Killdeer Kneeling

I thought that this was a very short Killdeer, but closeup it was evident that she was "kneeling". (Look at her knees, and think of how humans kneel) : )

 

No, Killdeer were not named by advocates for killing deer. The high-pitched call of this bird sounds like "Kill deeer".

 

 

Seen at Sloan's Lake Park, Denver, Colorado.
