Killdeer Snackbar


At my favorite mud puddle, a recent arrival.   Killdeer leaving the most delicate, calligraphic lines of tracks, in mud fine as clay slip.  Great tracking!
Killdeer tracks  1 1/8" long  the blunt toe to the rear of tack is another bird.
 
Note webbing between toes 3 and 4, and absence of rear toe.
