Jots about the bird…
- It’s a Killdeer; a type of plover that prefers fields to shores.
- It gets its name from its sound, you can listen here (although chickadee I get, killdeer is a stretch).
- They look a little like striped socks to me.
- A handful of of them were in a field across from my daughter’s school at drop off.
- I had actually pulled over to take photos of other migrators, several hundred cowbirds!
Jots about the plane…
- It’s an Avanti, developed initially with Learjet, more recently partnering with Ferrari.
- The small wings on the front remind me of a Hammerhead Shark.
- As a propeller plane it can access smaller airports where noisy jets cannot; since the propellers are at the rear of the turbo engines it is also quieter for passengers.
- Based on the direction it was flying I think it was headed to Nantucket.

You’re welcome, I love discovering new birds!
We used to have Killdeer in our driveway in Texas. It was a long white rocked driveway and there was always at least one nest smack dab in the middle of it. They’d make a big fuss every time we drove on the driveway screaming and trying to pull it’s “Injured Wing” distraction. I agree.. they do look like striped socks.
Thanks for linking up, Ann!

Interesting design!
Like it that the design is quieter for neighbourhoods and passengers! And I’ll be looking for socks like that bird’s design in a store near me. Cute!
