Next, we have a Baby Killdeer. It's tiny size makes it look adorable. The killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a medium-sized plover. The genus name Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate. It derives from Ancient Greek kharadrios a bird found in ravines and river valleys (kharadra, ravine). The specific vociferus is Latin and comes from vox, cry and ferre, to bear. They are a noisy bird, and their English name comes from their distinctive kill deer cry.
