Update on the baby Killdeer I rescued

I can't say for sure this is the same one but I'd like to think that it is. It's in the same area as where I found it. This is a picture of one of three fledglings I found running around with one of the parents.

I am amazed that little guy is capable of killing deer.
- Have you ever seen an adult yet?
  
  I am an adult, so of course I have.
Killdeer

Surprisingly marcial name for such a possibly pretty harmless creature.
- It’s pronounced “kill’d ear” because they’re so fucking loud
  
  Aka the inland seagull...so damn loud
You rescued a bird that is known for faking injuries? Sounds like you got scammed.
- Yeah...it's pretty funny to see a bird running around with an apparently broken wing and then as soon as you're out of threat range they fly away.
He looks like he is wearing a hat
How is bird so smol, but also so tall.
