Shake your tail feather

Let me see you shake your tail feather! Killdeer at Sharp Park Beach 5/7/23. These two were having fun on the beach. I may have missed them were it not for their rather distinct call, from which they get their name. From allaboutbirds.org: "Eighteenth-century naturalists also noticed how noisy Killdeer are, giving them names such as the Chattering Plover and the Noisy Plover."
