Swede’s PhotographsKilldeer's CallI was sitting here for a few seconds trying to remember the name of this bird. I thought 'killcow,' but that didn't sound right. Then I thought 'killjoy,' which sounded better, but I knew that wasn't it. Finally, I remembered, 'oh yea, killdeer (Charadrius vociferus).'<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photographylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographylovers</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bird</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdwatching</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/birdphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birdphotography</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/killdeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#killdeer</a>

Swede’s PhotographsA Call to the WildHere is the image of a killdeer (Charadrius vociferus), that I saw not too long ago."Killdeer get their name from the shrill, wailing kill-deer call they give so often.
