Kildeer

There seems to be a particular bird that likes to hang around golf courses in Washington and Arizona. The Kildeer which is a long legged, long billed bird which looks like it should be at the beach , breeds and lays their eggs in the most strange and open areas of the ground. They keep their enemies (which in our case are dogs and us) away from their nests by acting wounded and try to lure us from their nesting area.
