It's not a killjoy, but a killdeer

A visit to Carvins Cove brought this interesting bird to us. Seeing it reminded us of a sandpiper, with its spindly legs and long beak. Not being a proper birder, but still interested in birds, we decided to look it up when we got home! We found out it is indeed a plover, a "Charadrius vociferus"  which is commonly called a Killdeer.

Not super camouflaged, but we did see him!
