FURTHER NOTES ON 
SHORE BIRDS 
(continued from PAGE 475 ) 
X — Killdeer Plover 
T his good sized plover, with two 
black bands across its white breast, 
is one of our few upland species 
of the Shore-Bird group. It is rather 
fond of frequenting old pastures, run- 
ning about over the sod, as its relatives 
do over the sands or marshes of the sea- 
coast; and it lays its eggs in a slight 
depression in the ground in such a situ- 
ation, most frequently near some pond 
or lake to which the birds resort in the 
fall when the cares of housekeeping are 
over. It is a noisy bird at all times, es- 
pecially during the nesting season. Its 
common note, a harsh high-pitched “kill- 
dee,” “kill-dee,” has given rise to its 
popular name. 
Killdeers are abundant in the interior 
but uncommon and of more or less ir- 
regular occurrence near the Atlantic 
seaboard. They return from the south 
and nest early in the spring, and linger 
until late into the fall. 
XI — Turnstone or Brantbird 
T he Turnstone is a medium-sized 
Shorebird about as large as a Robin 
Snipe. It is stockily built with 
short neck and legs, and strikingly pied, 
black, white, and rufus-brown plumage, 
duller in fall and in young birds. In 
habitat, occurrence, and numbers the 
Turnstone parallels the Black-breasted 
Plover on our coast rather closely. It 
not infrequently associates with that 
bird, and will respond as readily to an 
imitation of the Blackbreast’s notes as 
to that of its own calls, which are dif- 
ficult to duplicate. It is a late species 
to move northw’ard in the spring, when 
it may be found in flocks feeding on sand 
bars near the ocean; and it usually does 
not return on southward migration until 
August. It also occurs on coastwise 
meadows, frequently associated with 
flocks of Lesser Yellowlegs. Its common 
flight call when flushed or in passing 
is a diagnostic low cackle, but it also 
has a rather loud plover-like “kik-kyu.” 
Other names for the Turnstone are 
“Chicken Plover” and “Horsefoot Snipe.” 
According to Robert B. Roosevelt, it 
feeds on the eggs of the king-crab or 
horsefoot which it digs up by jumping 
in the air and striking with both its feet 
at once into the sand, thus scratching a 
hole about three inches deep and one 
and a half inches across. This interest- 
ing observation has not been verified by 
recent naturalists.
