They are called "killdeer". The name comes from their call - it sounds like they are saying "kill deer". They look like seagulls or similar beach birds, with their colors, shape, and long legs. They attempt to lure egg-eating predators away from their eggs by acting injured, like with a broken wing. Once the distraction is successful, momma bird flies away. Killdeer are found around much of the United States.
