CROSS-POST: Spur-Wing Plovers (Vanellus miles)

From my writer's blog:

These guys are pretty paranoid and very noisy when disturbed, making a kind of 'kak-kak-kak' sound. As you can see, they're very watchful. These ones don't like having their pictures taken and moved rapidly away from the camera.
