Killdeer Update

Yesterday I shared how a killdeer I have been watching tends to her eggs, regardless of the adversities coming her way. I wondered how she and her nest of eggs weathered yesterday’s heavy rain.

Very early this morning I checked on her and the nest. From what I can tell, all is well at killdeer land, including the parent birds.

Apparently she is getting used to me. This morning she never went more than a few feet away. She is such a pretty Momma Killdeer!
