Description

We provide the first evidence of Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) as a resident species in coastal Northern South America.
Our observations correspond to 17 sightings and one breeding record of Killdeer in the non-breeding range of northwestern
Venezuela during the breeding seasons of 2019 and 2020.
