Joe,



At Alki Point we hear (and sometimes see) killdeer after dark, sometimes
late into the night. We've noted them calling in every month of the year,
but most especially in the spring and fall.

Subject: [Tweeters] Killdeer Behavior at Night



Howdy Tweets,



Last night while walking through the Montlake Fill (6:30-7:00pm) I noticed a
pair of Killdeer flying and vocalizing. I'm fairly sure that I've heard the
same calls from above my house (near the Green Lake Reservoir) at night. Is
this type of nocturnal activity normal for Killdeer? Has anyone else made
similar observations?
