Update on the baby Killdeer I rescued

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.

Killdeer

Surprisingly marcial name for such a possibly pretty harmless creature.

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.

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.
