Week 12- Clove Lakes Park, Staten Island
On April 21, 2023 at 9:47 am, I visited Cloves Lake Park, on Staten Island. On this day, the weather was 55 degrees fahrenheit and it was cloudy with some sun. This picture was taken on the trails of the lake located in the middle of the park. This picture shows two Killdeers, also known as Charadrius vociferus, which are medium-sized birds, with a brown and white plumage that helps them blend in with their surroundings. They have a distinctive black band around their necks and a bright orange beak. Killdeers are known for their distinctive calls, which are often described as a loud, sharp "kill-deer" or "dee-dee-dee." They have this unique behavior of displaying a broken wing in order to distract predators from getting to their nests or their offsprings.
