Did You Know?
This "soon-to-be" mama Killdeer was recently found on our project. You can see her camouflaged eggs diagonal from her on the left side. This species of birds is one of the least water-associated of all shorebirds. Killdeer seek locations on open ground with low vegetation (or no vegetation at all), including lawns, golf courses, driveways, parking lots, and gravel-covered roofs, as well as pastures, fields, sandbars and mudflats! She is in a safe location and will not be impacted in any way. UPDATE: Four babies have arrived!
