A smaller shorebird standing on one leg in the northern Arizona desert. The bird’s body is light brown, with a white chest, neck, and face, and black stripes across his chest, neck, and face. A bright orange ring encircles his eyes. His beak is fairly long, straight, and black. Although he’s standing on only one leg, he has two legs — he’d been walking on both just a minute before I took this picture.

Close-up up the killdeer’s chest and head, showing the bright-orange ring around the eye. The eye itself is very dark — almost black.

We find ourselves in Seligman, Arizona, this week, which is apparently the killdeer capital of the world — plenty of these plovers around our campsite (and, from the looks of things, they are lookin’ to make more). #springtime #birds #arizona
