The June 18 issue had Jerry's bird picture. Going page by page through The Sibley Guide to Birds, on page 167 was the Killdeer, Charadrius vociferus. A pointer to the bird's chest said, "two dark bands unique."

Also the Killdeer's range included Washington State's lowlands.

The Killdeer's Latin name means noisy. I wonder if he yelled when Jerry took the picture.
