The kildeer is a type of plover, and there are many species of plovers worldwide. Most plovers and many other shorebirds use the broken wing trick.

Reports of Piping Plover sightings have been used to keep people off crown land (federal property) around here.

I hope you didn't make a small pond by lining up the gravel around the nest.
Your son wouldn't be proud if they drowned during a sudden thunderstorm.

When looking closer to the birds themself, i agree with you that they are not the same bird.
However the Kievit is a bird that has the same eggs (the only dutch animal with speckled eggs, except for easter bunny) and it also uses the broken wing trick. The adult birds do not look alike in any way....

I don't know what's worse... when they have their eggs and are constantly screaming at you or when they have their little ones and you have to look where you put every foot as you walk 
I get them in my garden and around my shop every year. The little ones are really cute and sit perfectly still if you are close... hence needing to watch where you put your feet. When they start running around they look like little golf balls with legs

Sorry no pics of them yet...they are faster than me! Here are a few pics of the drive moved except for their little "piece of acreage." The last pic is a "bird's eye view" of the dozer...tough momma bird to stay put with that coming near you I'd say!
