Killdeer Update
Last week I added a blog entry about a pair of Killdeer that were nesting here at my office for the fourth year in a row. On Tuesday evening I returned from Florida to find that the grass had been mowed here at the office. The nest has clearly been disturbed and contained only shell fragments.
As of this morning, the pair of Killdeer are still hanging around. I suspect that the female will lay eggs again within the next 7-10 days. If & when she does, I'll mark the nest with a survey stake or two to avoid a reoccurrence of the nest getting disturbed. I've already spoken to the fellow who cuts the grass, so he now knows to watch for a survey stake to indicate the location of a nest.
Check back here for more updates in the coming weeks...
