Stanford's Killdeer may be better known to many by sound than by sight, with their cries piercing the evening quiet at Lagunita, or near the playing fields and the Oval. Killdeer breed in fields, meadows, pastures, and mudflats and along freshwater margins so there is a good chance that they breed on campus. There are, however, no reported sightings of nests or young. Inclusion of this image may serve to alert birders to keep an eye out, and send in any nesting information of this most vocal shorebird.
