Description

The mother Killdeer was very hard to spot by a casual observer. The only that I got a picture of the eggs was when she left the nest. She was very protective and tried to lure me away from the nest. The nest was a work of art, the eggs blending so well with the background. It was a wonderful day when three eggs hatched, one never hatching. The babies soon scampered off after their sweet mama. It was an amazing experience to behold.
