Killdeer (Charadrius vociferous)

Shorebirds such as the Killdeer are beginning their movement southward at this time of year.   Killdeers are among among the approximately 50 species of shorebirds in eastern Canada that are preparing to make this migration.

Sandy and rocky beaches, sewage lagoons, mudflats, river banks, farm fields, and salt marshes are all places to spot common shorebirds during August and September migrations.
