Killdeer
Unmistakable by it's red eye ring and black rings around the face and breast, this killdeer kept trying to get my attention on Bokeelia, Florida - an island on the southwest coast. This is typical behavior when trying to lure potential threats away from it's hidden nest that it builds on the ground.
