Killdeer? (Nope, doesn't have anything to do with the Deer itself)

 Can you believe how cute this little guy is?  Look at that pathetically gazing eye!  My daughter thought this was a little lost sea bird.  We were on the corner of the frontage road to a major highway, I-20, and waiting at the light; I saw him and could tell he was something special.  We actually circled, turned around, and did it again, to find a break in the traffic where I could take a photo without getting into a car accident; I couldn't tell what he really looked like, though, until coming home and seeing on the computer.  A "Killdeer"--what a strange name for a bird, though I read it comes from the call it makes.
Anyway, he was just chilling in the parking lot for T-Mobile.  Guess he just wanted a cell phone to call all his other seabird buddies down in Savannah ; )
