In the heat of this afternoon, from 2:20 till 3:00, I saw but five 
Killdeer, two Least Sandpipers, and one Pectoral Sandpiper.

Only one bird flew (a short flight by one Killdeer).  The others were 
all essentially stationary at the grassy puddle on the west side of the 
road opposite the drinking fountain for the cattle .... and each of them 
spent almost all of the time out of sight in the grasses (hunkered down 
in the shade?).  Two of the Killdeer never moved the whole time I was there.
