I can't say for sure this is the same one but I'd like to think that it is. It's in the same area as where I found it. This is a picture of one of three fledglings I found running around with one of the parents.

I am amazed that little guy is capable of killing deer.

Have you ever seen an adult yet?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I am an adult, so of course I have.

I’ve only seen children cosplaying as adults

Of course I ment an adult of this particular species. 🙃

Killdeer

Surprisingly marcial name for such a possibly pretty harmless creature.

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It’s pronounced “kill’d ear” because they’re so fucking loud

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aka the inland seagull...so damn loud

Can you please speak up. I've been standing next to a Flussregenpfeifer and can't hear you.

You rescued a bird that is known for faking injuries? Sounds like you got scammed.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah...it's pretty funny to see a bird running around with an apparently broken wing and then as soon as you're out of threat range they fly away.

He looks like he is wearing a hat
