I have one of these at work sitting on 4 eggs....was wanting to find out what it is so I can check the incubation times for the species...I would like to photo the babies....these nest on the ground ....

It's a killdeer..

It's a Killdeer, a type of plover.

When they are approached while they're sitting on eggs, they will run away with their wings drooping, feigning injury. This distracts predators from the eggs, and when the "injured" bird has lured the predator far enough away from the nest, it simply flies off.
