KILLDEER

Since June of 2005 I have never seen a match to these two parents protecting their nest.

Here is Papa Killdeer watching over the eggs from afar

And here is Mama Killdeer depending on her mate

The eggs were laid right on our neighbor's driveway

I wish there were a happy ending to this story, but sadly, they were too close to "civilization" to survive
