Killdeer and Boreal ChickadeeThe Killdeer is a mid-sized shore bird and quite skittish except when guarding its nest where it often uses the broken wing ploy to ward off interlopers. It is a early arriving and late leaving shorebird. I have seen them at the end of December, definitely not wise if survival is the plan. The Boreal Chickadee is a year round non migrating member of the chickadee clan. It's raspy song is easily recognized but its locals are spotty since like all chickadees they tend to move around a lot. We had some visiting last winter, all winter, often in company with White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches. I used a mirrorless camera for these photos, always a bad idea. The mirrorless technology has a long way to go to match DSLR cameras. Killdeer
