Killdeer Nest

Whoops-she left the nest. I am not that close,

but I'm backing up now and apologizing profusely.

Killdeer lay 4 eggs before they will begin to sit on

the eggs so that the babies all hatch on the same day.

I will try to get a shot of them after they hatch-so darn cute!

Killdeer on her nest

Killdeer make their nests in the darndest places.

In the middle of a path or here in

the middle of a veggie patch.

When the babies hatch they come out running

looking exactly like their parents. Only smaller!
