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

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

National Geographic on Instagram: "Video by @joelsartore | When I recorded this killdeer chick @rogerswildlife it was just two days old. At hatching, killdeer chicks are ready to take on the world, already capable of walking and feeding themselves. Soon after the chicks’ down feathers dry, their parents will lead them to a feeding area where they’ll have their first meal.
