"Both sexes (although the former more often than the latter) advertise in flight with loud "killdeer" calls." Needs a rewrite as there aren't any formers and latters.
I'd suggest adding a 'further' link to
Antipredator adaptation at the head of the 'Responses to predators' section, and link it in the lead. That might also be a better name for the section, actually.
I'll link anti-predator adaptation in the lead, and then have the further link in the body be "distraction display", as this more accurately describes what the killdeer does.

OK, thanks.
Suggest wikilink (lead and body)
Foraging,
Predator (or Predation),
Distraction display. This last could be a 'further' link if you wanted as it's a major feature.
"The day after the precocial (starting to walk in the first few days of its life) young hatch,..." Suggest "The young are
precocial, starting to walk .... The day after hatching, they are led ..."
In the image caption, why does the reader need to know this chick is in New Jersey, that female is in Pennsylvania? Unless there's special ecology there, it seems extraneous.
Because the United States is a big place, and so ecology varies widely across the country. Thus, I feel that it is appropriate to note the state, just like the country is noted in the picture showing the subspecies C. v. ternominatus.

I think you're overdoing the big place thing, but hey.
I will note in passing that most of the refs are primary, though it seems that many of these are being used for more general (secondary) facts in their introductory sections. You might want to introduce some more good-quality secondary sources such as review articles or textbooks (e.g. Stanley Cramp, The Birds of the Western Palearctic, volume 3, RSPB/OUP, 1983, pages 143-146, for instance), especially if you're thinking of going on to FAC.
