Killdeer Chick on the Rocks
A tiny Killdeer chick (Charadrius vociferus) makes its way across the rocky shore, popping its head up and down with every step. This adorable head-bobbing isn’t just for show… it helps the chick keep its vision steady while walking, making sure it can spot bugs, food, and dangers along the way!
