Some of the winged creatures look more like sea birds. What kind is this?

A PHOTO "WEB LOG" OF ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN AND SOME I HAVE LOVED.
Welcome to my new photo blog! I am hoping to use this outlet to explore a side of myself that many of you may not be familiar with. I am an AMATEUR NATURALIST. In the last few years I have come across many different fascinating animal species and taken some compelling photos. Please let me share my experiences with you.

Would that be the dramatic killdeer?
Well Done Kyle:
"In fact, if there were an Oscar award for "Best Dramatic Acting Away from the Nest," the Killdeer would certainly win. Killdeer will hobble along on stick-like legs--dragging a wing and tottering as if injured--to draw predators away from their nests. It's no wonder they're so crafty drawing predators away from their nests, when you consider how little preparation actually goes into the actual nests. Killdeer nest on the ground in rocky soil by simply dropping four eggs in the same place. Killdeer like open meadows and the flat shorelines of wetland areas and streams. Despite their name, they do not hunt and dill deer; they dine mainly on ground dwelling insects. Their name is an approximation of their song, which sound like a 'kill-dee-dee.'"
I was wondering why this bird was acting so strange running around and making its wings go all crazy.
Well done, indeed.
