Another exciting discovery!! Spotted this new bird at a local pond and it's called a Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus). Beautiful!!

(Widespread, common, and conspicuous, the Killdeer calls its name as it flies over farmland and other open country. Like other members of the plover family, this species is often found at the water's edge, but it also lives in pastures and fields far from water. At times, it nests on gravel roofs or on lawns. Many a person has been fooled by the bird's 'broken-wing' act, in which it flutters along the ground in a show of injury, luring intruders away from its nest.--Audubon Field Guide)
