[cayugabirds-l] killdeer

2011-08-15 Thread Susan Fast 
Around 1300, over Brooktondale, in a period of 10 minutes, about 30 KILLDEER
flew by the house low.  They moved from NW to SE, straight-line flight.
There was a group of 10, some smaller groups, and some singles.  All the
singles called, and in the groups, only one bird of the group called.  The
calls were very evenly spaced, almost like a mechanical recording.  Most
likely contact calls.  I wonder if the members of a group share who calls
and who rests.  Is this common in other shorebirds?

Weather:  low clouds and some drizzle, but pretty good visibility.
