Killdeer Update
I've been watching the pair of Killdeer at my office all week, and today I noticed that one of the birds was hanging around in one place. At one point I walked out onto the lawn and the Killdeer feigned a broken wing. Sure enough, I found two eggs in a new nest 10' away from the nest that was destroyed last weekend.
After discovering the eggs, I placed a couple of surveyor stakes around the nest so that the man who cuts the grass at my office knows where it is. A few hours later I went back outside and discovered a third egg in the nest!
Here's a video I shot of the new nest. I'll keep an eye on it and provide occasional updates.
