Baby killdeer always come out running. They hatch with their eyes open, and as soon as their downy feathers dry, they start scurrying about, following their parents and searching the ground for something to eat. Killdeer chicks will also tuck themselves under their mother's wings for warmth and to keep dry. This is just one of the many reasons that the BirdFest & Bluegrass committee chose the Killdeer as the Bird of the Year this year! Donations made to the Friends on days like #GiveMore24 help

It's a big day! Remember when we posted the video of the baby Killdeer stretching his legs a few weeks ago? Well he got to stretch much more than just his legs today! After 48 days of care he was finally able to be released back into the wild where he will hopefully continue to thrive. As you can see from the video, he was all too happy to take his first flight in the wild. Happy release day, little Killdeer! Good luck out there! This Killdeer is one of over 2,346 birds that have come through ou

Meet the tiniest little floof you’ve ever seen! This baby killdeer was found all alone, orphaned and vulnerable, but is now safe and getting the care it needs. Killdeer might look delicate, but they’re incredibly tough birds with some fascinating quirks! Killdeer are part of the plover family. Unlike many other birds, killdeer babies hatch precocial…meaning they’re born with their eyes open, covered in down, and ready to run within hours! 🏃‍♂️ No cozy nest life here; these babes hit the ground
