That bird looks like a killdeer to me. (So called because of what its call sounds like, not because it's harmful to deer, lol.) We have a lot of those around here.
Love the little boy on the horse. He looks really happy to be there!

(9,870 posts)6. Sure is Shazzie! Thank You -- I was pretty sure it was a kill-something,
but the only clue came to mind was killjoy AND I know too that didn't sound right . . .
