Information about the Killdeer:

The Killdeer is a robin-sized plover and the largest of the ringed plovers. They are fairly common and often seen in open grasslands, fields, wetlands, croplands, on lakeshores, pastures, prairies and even golf courses and parking lots. Primarily killdeers feed on insects and other invertebrates, although they will also eat berries. They are grounding nesting birds and when they have chicks to protect frequently uses a “broken wing act” to distract predators from the nest.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Description

Fine art illustration of a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Killdeer was completed on 12.6.09. The plaintive call of these birds was part of growing up in Minnesota. Of course, they are famous for being able to lead predators away from their nest as they pretend to have a wing that’s broken. I’m glad that I can also see them in my adopted California too. The drawing is based on a photo by the talented wildlife photographer ‘Photo Patty.
