Length, ten inches. Distinguished
by its piercing and oft-repeated cry
kildee.
Range: Breeds throughout the Unit
ed States and most of Canada; win
ters from central United States to
South America.
Habits and economic status: The
lilldeer II one Of the best known OF
tho shorebird family. 1t often visits
the farmyard and commonly nests IN
pastures or eornfeids. It -fs rather
suspicious, however. and on being ap-
preached takes flight with loud cries.
Il Is noisy and restless. but fortunate
" most of its activities result in
benefit to man The food Is Of the
same general nature as that Of the
upland plover. but is more varied. The
killdeer feeds upon beetles. grasshop-
pers, caterpillars, ants. bugs. caddis
flies, dragonnies, centipedes, spiders,
ticks, oyster worms, earthworms.
snails, crabs and other crustacea.
Among the beetles consumed are such
pests as the alfalfa weevil, cotton-boll
weevil, clover.root weevil. cloverleaf
weevil, pine weevil. billbugs, white
grubs, wireworms, and leaf beetles.
The bird also devours cotton worms.
cotton cutworms, horsefiies. mosQui-
toes, cattle ticks. and crawf1sh. One
stomach contained hundreds Of larvae
Of the saltmarsh mosquito, one of the
most troublesome species. The kill.
deer preys extensively upon insects
that are annoying to man and injurt.
Gus to his stock and crops. and this
should be enough to remove it from
the list Of game birds and insure its
protection.
