BIRD LIFE IN WASHINGTON 
Killdeer is larger than Spotted Sand 
Piper. He has two dark bands across his 
breast and he wears a white collar. But 
why describe him! He’ll tell you his 
name should you visit a favored slough: 
“Killdeer, Killdeer,” and then as he 
stops and teters before you while he 
watches you curiously, you can describe 
him yourself.
