This bird is known for it's "killdeer" shrill cry and for pretending to be hurt to draw predators away from it's nest and young.

If threatened, mom has a few tricks up her wings…like pretending one of them is broken to lure away predators. She may also do the false nest act. To add insult, killdeer can make a cry that sounds like a chuckle. Killdeer are found throughout Texas. Watch where you step! | Texas Parks and Wildlife | Facebook
