During one of the first visits to our farm (our farm...loving the sound of that!) Lance and I happened upon a Killdeer nest. I love the antics of this particular bird. We knew they were close to the nest by the adult birds behavior. As soon as we heard their call, we stopped walking and started searching the ground. Didn't take long to find the nest. Meanwhile, the parent bird was trying to get our attention by using the broken-wing-act and calling out...which kinda sounds like it's name -Killdeer Killdeer. When we returned to the farm a week later, the eggs were gone.
How we both loved finding this nest. Can you hear me sighing and saying, "Oh Lance, our own Killdeer!" Guess I took it as a good sign......
