About These Birds
Killdeer
Chorlitejo gritón (Charadrius vociferus), 23–26 cm. Dos collares pectorales negros prominentes; cola larga con rabadilla naranja llamativa. Muy ruidoso, de ahí su nombre. Ampliamente distribuido en América del Norte y del Sur. Habita en pastizales y áreas abiertas, lejos del agua a veces.
Spot-breasted Lapwing
Spot-breasted Lapwing: 28–30 cm, Ethiopian highland endemic lapwing with a black head and breast spotted white, and red legs. Restricted to high-altitude moorland and montane grassland above 1,800 m in Ethiopia. Insectivorous. Sedentary; rare and little-studied. Declining due to overgrazing and agricultural encroachment.
